Just sixteen, a pickup truck, out of money, out of luck. I've got nowhere to call my own, hit the gas, and here I go. I'm running free yeah, I'm running free. I'm running free yeah, Oh I'm running free. Spent the night in an L. A. jail, and listened to the sirens wail. But they ain't got a thing on me, I'm running wild, I'm running free. I'm running free yeah, I'm running free. I'm running free yeah, Oh I'm running free. Pulled her at the Bottle Top, whiskey, dancing, disco hop. All the boys are after me, and that's the way it's gonna be I'm running free yeah, I'm running free. I'm running free yeah, Oh I'm running free.
Walking through the city, looking oh so pretty, I've just got to find my way. See the ladies flashing. All their legs and lashes. I've just got to find my way. Well you see me crawling through the bushes with it open wide. What you seeing girl? Can't you believe that feeling, can't you believe it, Can't you believe your eyes? It's the real thing girl. Got me feeling myself and reeling around, Got me talking but feel like walking around. Got me feeling myself and reeling a... Got me talking but nothing's with me... Got me feeling myself and reeling around.
Out of winter came a warhorse of steel I've never killed a woman before But I know how it feels I know you'd have gone insane If you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law I met up with a stranger last night To keep me alive He spends all his money on gambling And guns to survive I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law [CHORUS] So give me Sanctuary from the law And I'll be alright Just give me Sanctuary from the law And love me tonight...tonight I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law [CHORUS] I can laugh at the wind I can howl at the rain Down in the canyon or out on the plains I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law [CHORUS]
Unchain the colours before my eyes, Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies. Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out of fire. Tears for rememberance, and tears for joy, Tears for somebody and this lonely boy. Out in the madness, the all seeing eye, Flickers above us, to light up the sky. Unchain the colours before my eyes, Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies. Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out of fire.
I've been looking so long for you now you won't get away from my grasp. You've been living so long in hiding in hiding behind that false mask. And you know and I know that you ain't got long now to last. Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past. You're standing in the wings, there you wait for the curtain to fall. Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all. Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul. You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call. Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait. Don't you stray, don't fade away. Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may. Don't you stray, from the narrow way. I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there. You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare. You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air. Haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair.
The only place where you can dream, living here is not what it seems. Ship of white light in the sky, nobody there to reason why. Here I am, I'm not really there, smiling faces ever so rare. A let's walk in deepest space, living here just isn't the place. Stalks of light come from the ground, when I cry there isn't a sound. All my feelings cannot be held, I'm happy in my new strange world. Shades of green grasses twine, girls drinking plasma wine. A look at love, a dream unfolds, living here, you'll never grow old. Don't you hear me call? Ooh
Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're saying? Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're giving. Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're after? Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all the laughter? [Chorus] Charlotte the Harlot show me your legs, Charlotte the Harlot take me to bed. Charlotte the Harlot let me see blood, Charlotte the Harlot let me see love. Taking so many men to your room, don't you feel no remorse? You charge them a "fiver", It's only for starters. And ten for the main course. And you've got no feelings, they died long ago. Don't you care who you let in? And don't you know you're breaking the law with the service you're giving. [Chorus] There was a time when you left me standing there, Picking up pieces of love off the floor. Well Charlotte you left me alone in there, To make your ends as a bloody whore. Well Charlotte you told me you love me true, Picking up pieces of love yesterday. Well Charlotte your draws are off color too 'Cause you're making love all day. Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're saying? Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're giving. Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're after? Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all the laughter? [Chorus]
Won't you come into my room, I wanna show you all my wares. I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare. See the blood begin to flow as it falls upon the floor. Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought. [Chorus] Oh Well, wherever, wherever you are, Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far. See the blood flow watching it shed up above my head. Iron Maiden wants you for dead. Won't you come into my room, I wanna show you all my wares. I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare. See the blood begin to flow as it falls upon the floor. Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought.
You?ll take my life but I?ll take yours too You?ll fire your musket but I?ll run you through So when your waiting for the next attack You?dbetter stand there?s no turning back The bugle sounds the charge begins But on this battle field no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath as I plunge on into certain death (Estribillo) Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (x2) The horse he swaets with fear we break to run The mighty roar of the russian guns And as we race towards the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away We wont live to fight another day (Estribillo) (Solo) We get so close near enough to fight When a russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds takes my horse below And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body?s numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan
There goes the siren that warns of the air raid, Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak. Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne, Got to get up for the coming attack. Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines, Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste. Gathering speed as we head down the runway, Got to get airborne before it's too late. Running, scrambling, fire, Rolling, turning, diving, going in again. Running, scrambling, fire, Rolling, turning, diving, Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die. Won't you run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high! Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers, Let off a sharp burst and then turn away. Roll over, spin round to come in behind them, Move to their blindsides and firing again. Bandits at 8 O'clock move in behind us, Ten ME-109's out of the sun. Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them, Heading straight for them I press down my guns. Rolling, turning, diving, Rolling, turning, diving, going in again. Rolling, turning, diving, Rolling, turning, diving, Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die. Won't you run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high!!!
I was born into a scene of angriness and greed, and dominance and persecution. My mother was a queen, my dad I've never seen, I was never meant to be. And now I spend my time looking all around, For a man that's nowhere to be found. Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching, I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around. [Chorus] 'Cos I'm a wrathchild, well I'm a wrathchild. Yeah I'm a wrathchild. I'm coming to get you, oooh yeah. Say it doesn't matter ain't nothin' gonna alter the course of my destination. I know I've got to find some serious piece of mind, or I know I'll go crazy. But now I spend my time looking all around, For a man thats nowhere to be found. Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching, I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around. [Chorus]
I remember it as plain as day Although it happened in the dark of the night. I was strolling through the streets of Paris And it was cold it was starting to rain. And then I heard a piercing scream And I rushed to the scene of the crime But all I found was the butchered remains Of two girls lay side by side. Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Run before the killers go free There's some people coming down the street At last there's someone heard my call I can't understand why they're pointing at me I never done nothing at all. But I must have got some blood on my hands Because everyone's shouting at me I can't speak French so I couldn't explain And like a fool I started running away. Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Am I ever gonna be free. And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law. All France is looking for me. I've gotta find my way across the border for sure Down the south to Italy. Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue I'm never going home. Well I made it to the border at last But I can't erase the scene from my mind Anytime somebody stares at me, well I just start running blind Well I'm moving through the shadows at night Away from the staring eyes Any day they'll be looking for me 'Cause I know I show the signs of... Murders in the Rue Morgue Running from the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Running from the arms of the law Murders in the Rue Morgue Running from the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Am I ever gonna be free It took so long and I'm getting so tired I'm running out of places to hide Should I return to the scene of the crime Where the two young victims died If I could go to somebody for help It'd get me out of trouble for sure But I know that it's on my mind That my doctor said I've done it before. Murders in the Rue Morgue They're never gonna find me Murders in the Rue Morgue I'm never going home.
As I lay here lying on my bed, sweet voices come into my head. Oh what it is, I wanna know, please won't you tell me it's got to go. There's a feeling that's inside me, telling me to get away. But I'm so tired of living, I might as well end today. [Repeat twice]
My life is so empty, nothing to live for. My mind is all confusion, 'cos I defied the law. When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran. I never had no trouble before this all began. My life is so empty, nothing to live for. My mind is all confusion, 'cos I defied the law. When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran. I never had no trouble before this all began. I'm running away, no where to go. I'm lost and tired and I just don't know. Yeah... They say I killed a woman, they know it isn't true. They're just trying to frame me, and all because of you. Yeah...
You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back, A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack. Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed, Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs. My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise, The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night. I have no one, I'm bound to destroy all this greed, A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me. I can see what a life's meant to be, And you'll never know how I came to forsee, see, see. My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties, With the glimmer of metal my moment is ready to strike. Death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night, Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light! I have found you, and now there is no place to run, Excitement shakes me, oh God help me what have I done?! Oooh yeah, I've done it! YEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH! You walk through the subway, my eyes burn a hole in your back, A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack. Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed, Killer behind you, my blood lust defies all my needs. Oooh look out, I'm coming for you! Ahahahaha!
Listen to me Lamia, listen to what I've got to say. I've got these feelings, and they won't go away. I've got these fears inside that'll bring me to my knees. Oh help me Lamia or I'm sure I'll die, oh please. I feel unsettled, now I know that I've done wrong. I've messed around with mystic things and magic for too long. I feel I'm being paid with this nightmare inside me, The devil's got a hold on my soul and he just won't let me be. I'm on my knees, oh help me please. I'm on my knees, help me please. Oh Lamia please try to help me. The devil's got a hold of my soul and he won't let me be. Lamia I've got this curse, I'm turning to bad. The devil's got a hold of my soul, and it's driving me mad. Oh Oh Lamia please try to help me. The devil's got a hold of my soul and he won't let me be. Lamia I've got this curse, I'm turning to bad. The devil's got a hold of my soul, and it's driving me mad. Oh
Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen, Fantasies lived times before. I split my brain, melt through the floor. Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why. My body tries to leave my soul. Or is it me, I just don't know. Mem'ries rising from the past, the future's shaddow overcast. Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led. Oh another time, another place. Oh another smile on another face. When you see me floating up beside you, You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you. Please take me away, take me away, so far away. Please take me away, take me away, so far away. Please take me away, take me away, so far away. Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen, Fantasies lived times before. I split my brain, melt through the floor. Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why. My body tries to leave my soul. Or is it me, I just don't know. Mem'ries rising from the past, the future's shaddow overcast. Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led. Oh another time, another place. Oh another smile on another face. When you see me walking up beside you, You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you. Please take me away, take me away, so far away. Please take me away, take me away, so far away. Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
She lays in bed at night and that is when I make my call. But when she stares at me, she can't see nothing at all, Because, you see, I can't take no shape or form. It's been three long years since I've been gone. I can't get used to purgatory, you know it really makes me cry. I'll never know the reason why I had to go. Oh, oh, I'm crying, Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me. Oh, oh, oh, can't you see me? Ah can't you see me? I'm looking forward to her spirit coming over to me. I feel tempted to bring her over to see just what it's Like to be hanging on the other side. I feel so lonely, it's a long time since I died. I try to show her that she's never gonna be alone, Because my spirit is imprisoned in the twilight zone. Oh, oh, I'm crying, Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me. Oh, oh, oh, can't you hear me? Ah can't you see me?
Walk away! Look out now, baby won't you take me away, Sittin' here its gonna be a new day. Gotta sing my song and I can't go wrong, Gotta keep on roaming, gotta sing my song. What you feeling when you hold me tight? I'm gonna cuddle up with you tonight, gonna get you feeling so secure. Listen child don't you see there's a cure? Anywhere got to get you away, feels so good think it's gonna be a new day. I'm gonna get my song till I can't go on, I'm gonna keep on roaming gonna sing my song. I want you to sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it along. I want you to sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it along.
"Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short... Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast for it is a human number, it?s number is Six hundred and sixty six" I left alone, my mind was blank. I needed time to get the memories from my mind. What did I see, can i believe, That what I saw last night was real and not just fantasy. Just what I saw, in my old dreams, Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me. ?Cause in my dreams, it?s always there, The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair. The night was black, was no use holding back, ?Cause I had to see, was someone watching me. In the mist, dark figures move and twist, Was all this for real, or just some kind of hell. 666 the number of the beast. Hell and fire was spawned to be released. Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised, As they start to cry, hands held to the sky. In the night, the fires burning bright, The ritual has begun, Satan?s work is done. 666 the number of the beast. Sacrifice is going on tonight. This can?t go on, I must inform the law. Can this still be real or just some crazy dream. But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes, They seem to mesmerize...can?t avoid their eyes, 666 the number of the beast. 666 the one for you and me. I?m coming back, I will return, And I?ll possess your body and I?ll make you burn. I have the fire, I have the force. I have the power to make my evil take it?s course.
I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime. Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time. 'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole, The sands of time for me are running low... Running low ooohhh... When the priest comes to read me the last rites, I take a look through the bars at the last sights, Of a world that has gone very wrong for me. Can it be that there's some sort of error? Hard to stop the surmounting terror. Is this really the end, not some crazy dream? Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming, It's not easy to stop from screaming, But words escape me when I try to speak. Tears flow but why am I crying? After all I'm not afraid of dying. Don't I believe that there never is an end? As the guards march me out to the courtyard, Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you". If there's a God then why does he let me go? As I walk my life drifts before me. Though the end is near I'm not sorry. Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away. Mark my words believe my soul lives on. Don't worry now that I have gone. I've gone beyond to see the truth. When you know that your time is close at hand, Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down here is just a strange illusion. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...Hallowed be Thy name Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...Hallowed be Thy name Yeah...
White man came across the sea He brought us pain and misery He killed our tribes, he killed our creed He took our game for his own need We fought him hard we fought him well Out on the plains we gave him hell But many came too much for Cree Oh will we ever be set free? Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes Galloping hard on the plains Chasing the redskins back to their holes Fighting them at their own game Murder for freedom a stab in the back Women and children and cowards attack Run to the hills, run for your lives Run to the hills, run for your lives Soldier blue in the barren wastes Hunting and killing their game Raping the women and wasting the men The only good Indians are tame Selling them whiskey and taking their gold Enslaving the young and destroying the old Run to the hills, run for your lives
Longboats have been sighted the evidence of war has begun Many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields all gleam in the sun Call to arms defend yourselves get ready to stand and fight for your lives Judgement day has come around so be prepared don't run stand your ground They're coming in from the sea they've come the enemy beneath the blazing sun the battle has to be won Invaders ... Pillaging Invaders ... Looting Set ablaze the campfires alert the other men from inland Warning must be given there's not enough men here for a stand The Vikings are too many too powerful to take on our own We must have reinforcements we cannot fight this battle alone They're coming over the hill they've come to attack they're coming in for the kill there's no turning back Invaders ... Fighting Invaders ... Marauding Axes grind and maces clash as wounded fighters fall to the ground Severed limbs and fatal woundings bloody corpses lay all around The smell of death and burning flesh the battle weary fight to the end The Saxons have been overpowered victims of the mighty Norsemen You'd better scatter and run the battle's lost and not won you'd better get away to fight another day Invaders ... Raping Invaders ... Plundering
He's walking like a small child But watch his eyes burn you away Black holes in his golden stare God knows he wants to go home Children of The Damned He's walking like a dead man If he had lived he would crucified us all Now he's standing on his last step He thought oblivion well it beckons us all Children of The Damned [x3] Now it's burning his hands he's turning to laugh Smiles as the flame sears his flesh Melting his face screaming in pain Peeling the skin from his eyes Watch him die according to plan He's dust on ground what did we learn You're Children of The Damned Your back's against the wall You turn into the light You're burning in the night You're Children of The Damned Like candles watch them burn Burning in the light You'll burn again tonight Children of The Damned

Shadows may hide you but also may be your grave You're running today maybe tomorrow you'll be saved You pray for daylight to save you for a while You wonder if your children will face the killer's smile Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - murders up for sale Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - where jail birds die Face at the window leers into your own But it's only your reflection still you tremble in your bones How long can you hide? How long 'till they come? A rat in a trap but you've got to survive Once you were glad to be free for a while The air tasted good and the world was your friend Then came the day when the hard times began Now you're alone but alive for how long? Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - murders up for sale Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - where jail birds die A knife at your throat another body on the pile A contract to keep and it's service with a smile Murder for vengeance or murder for gain Death on the streets or a blacked out jail Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - murders up for sale Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - where jail birds die In Gangland you tell no tales
Cold as steel the darkness waits its hour will come. A cry of fear from our children worshipping the sun. Mother natures' black revenge on those who wasted her life. War babies in the garden of Eden, Shall turn our ashes to ice. Sunrise has gone, freezing up the fires. Sunrise has gone, numbing our desires. Around the world the people stop, With terror stricken eyes. A shadow cast upon them all, To crush them like a fly. In the icy rain and whiplashed seas, There's nowhere left to run. The hammer blows of winter fall like a hurricane. Sunrise has gone, freezing up the fires. Sunrise has gone, numbing our desires. Around the world the nations wait, For some wise word from their leading light. You know it's not only madmen who listen to fools. Is this the end, the millions cried, Clutching their riches as they died. Those who survive must weather the storm. Gone are the days when man looked down. They've taken away his sacred crown. To be set free, it took so long. It's not journey's end, it's just begun.
It's snowing outside the rumbling sound of engines roar in the night, The mission is near the confident men are waiting to drop from the sky. The Blizzard goes on but still they must fly No one should go where eagles dare. Bavarian alps that lay all around they seem to stare from below, The enemy lines a long time passed are lying deep in the snow. Into the night they fall through the sky No one should fly where eagles dare. They're closing in the fortress is near it's standing high in the sky, The cable car's the only way in it's really impossible to climb. They make their way but maybe too late They've got to try to save the day. The panicking cries the roaring of guns are echoing all around the valley, The mission complete they make to escape away from the Eagles Nest. They dared to go where no one would try they chose to fly where eagles dare.
"O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride." [G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal] Just a babe in a black abyss, No reason for a place like this, The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain, An easy way for the blind to go, A clever path for the fools who know The secret of the Hanged Man - the smile of his lips. The light of the Blind - you'll see, The venom tears my spine, The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see. She came to me with a serpent's kiss, As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips, Moonlight catches silver tears I cry, So we lay in a black embrace, And the Seed is sown in a holy place And I watched, and I waited for the Dawn. The light of the Blind - you'll see, The venom that tears my spine, The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see. Go Bind all of us together, Ablaze with Hope and Free, No storm or heavy weather Will rock the boat you'll see. The time has come to close your eyes And still the wind and rain, For the one who will be King Is the Watcher in the Ring. It is You. It is You.
As the sun breaks, above the ground, An old man stands on the hill. As the ground warms, to the first rays of light A birdsong shatters the still. His eyes are ablaze, See the madman in his gaze. Fly on your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun, On your way, like an eagle, Fly and touch the sun. Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears Looks the old man in the eye As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd In the name of God my father I fly. His eyes seem so glazed As he flies on the wings of a dream. Now he knows his father betrayed Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave Fly, on your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun, On your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun. On your way, like an eagle, Fly, touch the sun On your way, like an eagle, Fly Fly as high as the sun.
Another Prophet of Disaster Who says the ship is lost, Another Prophet of Disaster Leaving you to count the cost. Taunting us with Visions, Afflicting us with fear, Predicting War for millions, In the hope that one appears. No point asking when it is, No point asking who's to go, No point asking what's the game, No point asking who's to blame, 'Cos if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die, 'Cos if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die, If you're gonna die, if you're gonna die, If you're gonna die, if you're gonna die, If you're gonna die, die with your boots on, If you're gonna try, well stick around, Gonna cry, just move along, If you're gonna die, you're gonna die. 13 the Beast is Rising, The Frenchman did surmise, Through earthquakes and starvation, The Warlord will arise, Terror, Death, Destruction, Pour from the Eastern sands, But the truth of all predictions, Is always in your hands.

Take a look in the pool and what do you see In the dark depths there faces beckoning me Can't you see them it's plain for all to see They were there oh I know you don't believe me. Oh.....I've never felt so strange But.....I'm not going insane. I've no doubt that you think I'm off of my head You don't say but it's in your eyes instead Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool Something draws me there I don't know what to do. Oh.....they drain my strength away Oh.....they're asking me to stay. Nightmares.....spirits calling me Nightmares.....they won't leave me be. All my life's blood is slowly draining away And I feel that I'm weaker every day Somehow I know I haven't long to go Joining them at the bottom of the pool. Now.....I feel they are so near I.....begin to see them clear Nightmares.....coming all the time Nightmares.....Will give me peace of mind. Now it's clear and I know what I have to do I must take you down there to look at them too Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool Can't you see not just me they want you too. Oh.....we'll drown together It.....will be forever. Nightmares.....forever calling me Nightmares.....Now we rest in peace.
In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth When the land was swamp and caves were home In an age when prize possession was fire To search for landscapes men would roam. Then the tribes they came to steal their fire And the wolves they howled into the night As they fought a vicious angry battle to save the power of warmth and light. Drawn by Quest for fire They searched all through the land Drawn by Quest for fire Discovery of man. And they thought that when the embers died away That the flame of life had burnt and died Didn't know the sparks that made the fire Were made by rubbing stick and stone. So they ploughed through forest and swamps of danger And they fought the cannibal tribes and beasts In the search to find another fire To regain the power of life and heat. Drawn by Quest for fire They searched across the land Drawn by Quest for fire Discovery of man.
Well, you killed your first man at 13, Killer instinct, Animal supreme, By 16 you had learned to fight The way of the warrior, you took it as your right. Sunlight, falling on your steel, Death in life is your ideal, Life is like a wheel Through earth and water, fire and wind, You came at last - nothing was the end, Make a cut by fire and stones, Take you and your blade and break you both in two - break you both in two. Sunlight, falling on your steel, Death in life is your ideal, Life is like a wheel rolling on and on.

Kill for gain or shoot to maim We don't need a reason The Golden Goose is on the loose And never out of season Blackened pride still burns inside The shell of bloody treason Here's my gun for a barrel of fun For the love of living death The killer's breed or the demon's seed, The glamour, the fortune, the pain, Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain Don't you pray for our soul anymore 2 minutes to midnight, The hands that threaten doom. 2 minutes to midnight, To kill the unborn in the womb. The blind men shout, "Let the creatures out We'll show the unbelievers." Napalm screams of human flames For a prime time Belsen feast ... yeah! As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies. The killer's breed or the demon's seed, The glamour, the fortune, the pain, Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain Don't you pray for our soul anymore 2 minutes to midnight, The hands that threaten doom. 2 minutes to midnight, To kill the unborn in the womb. [Solo] The body bags and little rags of children torn in two And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun. The killer's breed or the Demon's seed, The glamour, the fortune, the pain, Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain Don't you pray for my soul anymore. 2 minutes to midnight, The hands that threaten doom. 2 minutes to midnight, To kill the unborn in the womb. Midnight Midnight Midnight It's all night Midnight Midnight Midnight It's all night
As a young boy chasing Dragons with your wooden sword so mighty, You're St. George or you're David and you always killed the beast Times change very quickly And you had to grow up early A house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet [Chorus:] You'll die as you lived In a flash of the blade In a corner forgotten by no-one You lived for the touch For the feel of the steel One man, and his Honour. The smell of resined leather The steely iron mask As you cut and thrust and parried at the fencing master's call He taught you all he ever knew To fear no mortal man And now you'll wreak your vengeance in the Screams of evil man. [Chorus:] [Repeat chorus]
He threw down a glove you made the mistake Of picking it up now you're gone The choosing of guns or fighting with swords The choice of weapons is gone He'll tear you apart as soon as you start You know you don't have a chance [Chorus:] OH...OH... Fight for the Honour Fight for the Splendour Fight for the Pleasure OH...OH... Fight for the Honour Fight for the Splendour Fight for your Life! Ready to start the duel begins the best man wins in the end A lunge and a feint, a parry too late A cut to the chest and you're down Seeing the stain then feeling the pain Feeling the sweat on your brow [Chorus:] The fighting resumes, a silence looms the Swordsman move 'gainst each other A cut and a thrust, a parry, a blow a stab to the heart and you're down The Angel of Death hears your last breath Meanwhile the reaper looks on OH...OH... Fought for the Honour Fought for the Splendour Fought for the Pleasure OH...OH... Fought for the Honour Fought for the Splendour Fought to the Death
Turn the spotlights on the people Switch the dial and eat the worm Take your chances, kill the engine Drop your bombs and let it burn White flags shot to ribbons, The truce in Black and Burned. Shellshock in the kitchen. Tables overturned [Chorus:] Back in the village again In the village, I'm back in the village again. Throwing dice now, rolling loaded I see sixes all the way, In a black hole and I'm spinning As my wings get shot away. Questions are a burden And answers are a prison for oneself Shellshock in the kitchen Tables start to burn. [Chorus:] Back in the village again In the village, I'm back in the village again. No breaks on the inside, Paper cats and burning barns, There's fox among the chickens, And a killer in the hounds. Questions are a burden And answers are a prison for oneself Shellshock in the kitchen Tables start to burn. [Chorus:] Back in the village again In the village, I'm back in the village again. But still we walk into the valley And others try to kill the inner flame We're burning brighter than before I don't have a number, I'M A NAME! Back in the village again In the village I'm back in the village again Back in the village again In the village I'm back in the village Back in the village Back in the village again.
Into the Abyss I'll fall - the eye of Horus Into the eyes of the night - watching me go Green is the cat's eye that glows - In this Temple Enter the risen Osiris - risen again. [Chorus:] Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a God, Why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies, All around is laid waste, And in my last hour, I'm a Slave to the Power of Death. When I was living this lie - Fear was my Game People would worship and fall - Drop to their knees. So bring me the blood and Red wine for the one to succeed me, For he is a man and a God - And He will die too. [Chorus:] Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins, Silent the terror that reigned - Marbled in stone A Shell of a man God preserved - For thousand ages, But open the gates of my hell - I'll strike from the grave [Chorus:] Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a God, Why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies, All around is laid waste, And in my last hour, I'm a Slave to the Power of Death. Slave to the Power of Death... Slave to the Power of Death...
Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner See his eye as he stops one of three Mesmerises one of the wedding guests Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the Sea And the music plays on, as the bride passes by Caught by his spell and the Mariner tells his tale. Driven south to the land of the snow and ice To a place where nobody's been Through the snow fog flies on the albatross Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings. And the ship sails on, back to the North Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on The mariner kills the bird of good omen His shipmates cry against what he's done But when the fog clears, they justify him And make themselves a part of the crime. Sailing on and on and North across the sea Sailing on and on and North 'till all is calm The albatross begins with its vengeance A terrible curse a thirst has begun His shipmates blame bad luck on the Mariner About his neck, the dead bird is hung. And the curse goes on and on and on at sea And the thirst goes on and on for them and me "Day after day, day after day, we stuck nor breath nor motion As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink." [SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE (1772-1834)] There, calls the mariner there comes a ship over the line But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide. See... onward she comes Onwards she nears, out of the sun See... she has no crew She has no life, wait but there's two Death and she Life in Death, they throw their dice for the crew She wins the Mariner and he belongs to her now. Then ... crew one by one They drop down dead, two hundred men She... She, Life in Death. She lets him live, her chosen one. [NARRATIVE] "One after one by the star dogged moon, too quick for groan or sigh Each turned his face with a ghastly pang and cursed me with his eye Four times fifty living men (and I heard nor sigh nor groan), With heavy thump, a lifeless lump, they dropped down one by one." [SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE (1772-1834)] The curse it lives on in their eyes The Mariner he wished he'd die Along with the sea creatures But they lived on, so did he. And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom With heart he blesses them God's creatures all of them too. Then the spell starts to break The albatross falls from his neck Sinks down like lead into the Sea Then down in falls comes the rain. Hear the groans of the long dead seamen See them stir and they start to rise Bodies lifted by good spirits None of them speak and they're lifeless in their eyes And revenge is still sought, penance starts again Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on. Now the curse is finally lifted And the Mariner sights his home Spirits go from the long dead bodies Form their own light and the Mariner's left alone And then a boat came sailing towards him It was a joy he could not believe The Pilot's boat, his son and the hermit Penance of life will fall onto Him. And the ship it sinks like lead into the sea And the hermit shrives the mariner of his sins The Mariner's bound to tell of his story To tell his tale wherever he goes To teach God's word by his own example That we must love all things that God made. And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man And the tale goes on and on and on.
If you had the time to lose An open mind and time to choose Would you care to take a look Or can you read me like a book Time is always on my side Time is always on my side Can I tempt you come with me Be Devil may care fulfill your dream If I said I'd take you there Would you go would you be scared Time is always on my side Time is always on my side Don't be afraid you're safe with me Safe as any soul can be... honestly Just let yourself go [Chorus:] Caught somewhere in time Caught somewhere in time Caught somewhere in time... oh oh Caught somewhere in time Caught somewhere in time Caught somewhere in time... oh oh Like a wolf in sheep's clothing You try to hide your deepest sins Of all the things that you've done wrong And I know where you belong Time is always on my side Time is always on my side Make you an offer you can't refuse You've only got your soul to lose...

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas I'm travellin' on, far and wide But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else I close my eyes, and think of home Another city goes by in the night Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it 'til it's gone away And my heart is lying there and will be 'til my dying day [Chorus:] So understand Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years Face up... make your stand And realise you're living in the golden years Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind Can't ease this pain, so easily When you can't find the words to say it's hard to make it through another day And it makes me wanna cry and throw my hands up to the sky [Chorus:]
Out in the street somebody's crying Out in the night the fires burn Maybe tonight somebody's crying Reached the point of no return Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave [Chorus:] Like the eagle and the dove Fly so high on wings above When all you see can only bring you sadness Like a river we will flow On towards the sea we go When all you do can only bring you sadness Out on the sea of madness Somewhere I hear a voice that's calling Out in the dark there burns a dream You got to hope when you are falling To find the world that you have seen Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave [Chorus:] It's madness The sun don't shine On the sea of madness There ain't no wind to fill your sails Madness when all you see can only bring you sadness On towards the sea we go... Out in the street somebody's crying Out in the night the fires burn Maybe tonight somebody's crying Reached the point of no return Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave [Chorus:]
Can't understand what is happening to me This isn't real this is only a dream But I never have felt, no I never have felt this way before I'm looking down on my body below I lie asleep in the midst of a dream Is it now could it be the Angel of Death has come for me I can't believe that really my time has come I don't feel ready there's so much left undone And it's my soul and I'm not gonna let it get away [Chorus:] Heaven can wait / Heaven can wait Heaven can wait / Heaven can wait 'til another day I have a lust for the Earth below And Hell itself is my only foe 'Cause I've no fear of dying I'll go when I'm good and ready I snatch a glimpse of the lights eternal rays I see a tunnel I stand amazed At all of the people standing there in front of me Into the paths of rightness I'll be led Is this the place where the living join the dead I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare [Chorus:] Take my hand I'll lead you to the promised land Take my hand I'll give you immortality Eternal youth I'll take you to the other side To see the truth the path for you is decided My body tingles I feel so strange I feel so tired I feel so drained And I'm wondering if I'll ever be the same again Is this in limbo or Heaven or Hell Maybe I'm going down there as well I can't accept my soul will drift forever I feel myself floating back down to Earth So could this be the hour of my rebirth Or have I died or will I wake from dreaming? [Chorus:]
The tough of the track With the wind And the rain that's beating down on Your back Your heart's beating loud And goes on getting louder And goes on even more 'til the Sound is ringing in your head With every step you tread And every breath you take Determination Makes you run never stop Got to win got to run 'til you drop Keep the pace hold the race Your mind is getting clearer You're over half way there But the miles they never seem to end As if you're in a dream Not getting anywhere It seems so futile [Chorus] Run on and on Run on and on The loneliness of the long distance runner I've got to keep running the course I've got to keep running and win at All costs I've got to keep going be strong Must be so determined and push myself on Run over stiles across fields Turn to look at who's on your heels Way ahead of the field The line is getting nearer but do You want the glory that goes You reach the final stretch Ideals are just a trace You feel like throwing the race It's all so futile [Chorus:]
Was many years ago that I left home and came this way I was a young man, full of hope and dreams But now it seems to me that all is lost and nothing gained Sometimes things ain't what they seem No brave new world, no brave new world No brave new world, no brave new world Night and day I scan horizon, sea and sky My spirit wanders endlessly Until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why Hear me calling, rescue me Set me free, set me free Lost in this place, and leave no trace [Chorus:] Stranger in a strange land Land of ice and snow Trapped inside this prison Lost and far from home One hundred years have gone and men again they came that way To find the answer to the mystery They found his body lying where it fell all that day Preserved in time for all to see No brave new world, no brave new world Lost in this place, and leave no trace What became of the man that started All are gone and their souls departed Left me here in this place So all alone [Chorus:] What became of the man that started All are gone and their souls departed Left me here in this place So all alone [Chorus:]
When you see familiar faces But you don't remember where they're from Could you be wrong? When you've been particular places That you know you've never been before Can you be sure? 'Cause you know this has happened before And you know that this moment in time is for real And you know when you feel deja-vu [Chorus:] Feel like I've been here before Feel like I've been here before Feel like I've been here before Feel like I've been here before Ever had a conversation That you realise you've had before Isn't it strange Have you ever talked to someone And you feel you know what's coming next It feels pre-arranged 'Cause you know that you've heard it before And you feel that this moment in time is surreal 'Cause you know when you feel deja-vu [Chorus:]
"My son ask for thyself another Kingdom, for that which I leave is too small for thee" (King Philip of Macedonia - 339 B.C.) Near to the east In a part of ancient Greece In an ancient land called Macedonia Was born a son To Philip of Macedon The legend his name was Alexander At the age of nineteen He became the Macedon King And he swore to free all of Asia Minor By the Aegian Sea In 334 B.C. He utterly beat the armies of Persia [Chorus:] Alexander the Great His name struck fear into hearts of men Alexander the Great Became a legend 'mongst mortal men King Darius the third Defeated fled Persia The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well And he founded the city called Alexandria By the Tigris river He met King Darius again And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela Entering Babylon And Susa, treasures he found Took Persepolis the capital of Persia [Chorus:] Alexander the Great His name struck fear into hearts of men Alexander the Great Became a God amongst mortal men A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke And Alexander cut the 'Gordian knot' And legend said that who untied the knot He would become the master of Asia Hellenism he spread far and wide The Macedonian learned mind Their culture was a western way of life He paved the way for Christianity Marching on, marching on The battle weary marching side by side Alexander's army line by line They wouldn't follow him to India Tired of the combat, pain and the glory Alexander the Great His name struck fear into hearts of men Alexander the Great He died of fever in Babylon
Seven deadly sins Seven ways to win Seven holy paths to hell And your trip begins Seven downward slopes Seven bloodied hopes Seven are your burning fires, Seven your desires... I am he the bornless one The fallen angel watching you Babylon, the scarlet whore I'll infiltrate your gratitude Don't you dare to save your son Kill him now and save the young ones Be the mother of a birth strangled babe Be the devils own, Lucifer's my name Moonchild - hear the mandrake scream Open the seventh seal Moonchild - You'll be mine soon child Moonchild - take my hand tonight I count the heads of those unborn The accursed ones I'll find them all If you die by your own hand As a suicide you shall be damned And if you try to save your soul I will torment you - you shall not grow old With every second and passing breath You'll be so alone your soul will bleed to death The twins they are exhausted, seven is the night Gemini is rising as the red lips kiss to bite Seven angels seven demons battle for his soul When Gabriel lies sleeping, this child was born to die One more dies one more lives One baby cries One mother grieves For all the sins you will commit You'll beg forgiveness and none I'll give A web of fear shall be your coat To clothe you in the night A lucky escape for you youngman But I see you damned in endless night.
Infinite dreams I can't deny them Infinity is hard to comprehend I couldn't hear those screams Even in my wildest dreams Suffocation waking in a sweat Scared to fall asleep again In case the dream begins again Someone chasing I cannot move Standing rigid a nightmare's statue What a dream when will it end And will it transcend? Restless sleep the minds in turmoil One nightmare ends another fertile It's getting to me so scared to sleep But scared to wake now, in too deep. Even though it's reached new heights I'd rather like the restless nights It makes me wonder it makes me think There's more to this I'm on the brink It's not the fear of what's beyond It's just that I might not respond I have an interest almost craving But would I like to get too far in? Can't all be coincidence Too many things are evident You tell me you're an unbeliever Spiritualists? Well me I'm neither Wouldn't you like to know The truth? Oh what's out there to have the proof And find out just which side You're on Where would you end in Heaven or In Hell? Help me. Help me to find my true Self without seeing the future Save me, save me from torturing Myself even within my dreams There's got to be just more to it than this Or tell me why do we exist I'd like to think that when I die I'd get a chance another time And to return and live again Reincarnate, play the game Again and again and again.
Can I play with madness? Give me the sense to wonder To wonder if I'm free Give me a sense of wonder To know I can be me Give me the strength to hold my head up Spit back in their face Don't need no key to unlock this door Gonna break down the walls Break out of this bad place [Chorus] Can I play with madness? The prophet stared at his crystal ball Can I play with madness? There's no vision there at all Can I play with madness? The prophet looked at me and laughed at me (ha ha) He said: Can I play with madness? He said you're blind, too blind to see Said you're too blind to see I screamed aloud to the old man I said don't lie, don't say you don't know I say you'll pay for this mischief In this world or the next Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance And the hell fires raged in his eyes He said you wanna know the truth son? Lord, I'll tell you the truth Your soul's gonna burn in a lake of fire [Chorus] Listen to me, said the prophet [Chorus] Can I play with madness?
Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with The slaughter of innocence And I will pray for her. I will call her name out loud. I would bleed for her. If I could only see her now. Living on a razor's edge. Balancing on a ledge. Living on a razor's edge on... Balancing on a ledge on... Balancing on a ledge on... Living on a razor's edge. Balancing on a ledge you know ... you know !! The evil that men do lives on and on !....[x4] Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me. And I will pray for you. ...Some day I may return. Don't you cry for me Beyond is where I learn. Living on a razor's edge. Balancing on a ledge. Living on a razor's edge you know... you know !! The evil that men do lives on and on! [x4] Living on a razor's edge. Balancing on a ledge. Living on a razor's edge you know ... you know !! The evil that men do lives on and on! [x4] The evil ! The evil ! The evil that men do... The evil ! The evil ! The evil that men do... Yeah yeah!!
Here they stand brothers them all All the sons divided they'd fall Here await the birth of the son The seventh, the heavenly, the chosen one. Here the birth from an unbroken line Born the healer the seventh, his time Unknowingly blessed and as his life unfolds Slowly unveiling the power he holds [Chorus:] Seventh son of a seventh son [4 times] Then they watch the progress he makes The Good and the evil which path will he take Both of them trying to manipulate The use of his powers before it's too late [Chorus:] Today is born the seventh one Born of woman the seventh son And he in turn of a seventh son He has the power to heal He has the gift of the second sight He is the chosen one So it shall be written So it shall be done
Now that I know that the right time has come My prediction will surely be true The impending disaster it looms And the whole of the village is doomed Why won't you listen to me Is it so hard to understand That I am the real seventh son Your life or death on me depends Suffering and pain impending disaster Souls crying the devil's laughter Heard the cry of the seventh whistlers Lucifer smiles looks on and waits I'll take your life in my hands Your fate your fortune's in my visions Heed what I say and you'll see what What will be Please listen to me Now that they see the disaster is done Now they put all the blame unto me They feel I brought on a curse Don't they know that the torment It stays with me knowing that I walk alone Through the eyes of the future I see They don't even know what fear is Don't they know I'm the one who is cursed Purgatory beckons souls lost forever Life after death or heaven hereafter Heard the call of the seven whistlers again Now Lucifer laughs hell awaits I had their lives in my hands Their fates their fortunes in my visions No one believed in my true prophecy And now it's too late.
Feel the sweat break on my brow Is it me or is it shadows that are Dancing on the walls. Is this dream or is it now Is this a vision or normality I see Before my eyes. I wonder why I wonder how That it seems the powers getting stronger Every day I feel a strength an inner fire But I'm scared I won't be able to control it anymore There's a time to live and a time to die When it's time to meet the maker There's time to live but isn't it strange That as soon as you're born you're dying. Just by looking through your eyes He could see the future penetrating right In through your mind See the truth and see your lies But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise There's time to live and time to die When it's time to meet the maker There's time to live but isn't it strange That as soon as you're born you're dying... ...and reborn again??
The demon in your mind will rape you in your bed at night The wisdom of ages, the lies and outrages concealed Time it waits for no man My future is revealed Time it waits for no man My fate is sealed If I cancel tomorrow the undead will thank me today Fly in the face of the prophets I mock your morality plays The moon is red and bleeding The sun is burned and black The book of life is silent No turning back [Chorus:] Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young Only the good die young Mystery madman, a victim of cruel charade Some innocent pawn in an end game, one more stalemate Is death another birthday? A way to kiss your dreams goodbye? Do the undead live within us? And look through our eyes? Walking on water are miracles all you can trust Measure your coffin does is measure up to your lust? So I think I'll leave you With your bishops and your guilt So until the next time Have a good sin [Chorus:] Seven deadly sins Seven ways to win Seven holy paths to hell Seven downward slopes Seven bloodied hopes Seven are your burning fires Seven your desires.....
Trace your way back 50 years To the Glow of Dresden - blood and tears In the black above by the cruel searchlight Men will die and men will fight - yeah! Who shot who and who fired first? Dripping death to whet the blood thirst No radar lock on - skin and bone The bomber boys are going home [Chorus] Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner You're a Tailgunner [repeat] Nail that Fokker kill that son, Gonna blow your guts out with my gun, The weather forecasts good for War Cologne and Frankfurt? have some more! Tail end Charlie in the boiling sky The Enola Gay was my last try Now that this Tailgunner's gone No more Bombers (just one big bomb) [Chorus]
Believe in me - send no money Died on the cross and that ain't funny But my so called friends are making me a joke They missed out what I said like I never spoke They choose what they wanna hear - they don't tell a lie They just leave out the truth as they're watching you die Saving your souls by taking your money Flies round shit, bees around honey. [Chorus] Holy Smoke, Holy Smoke, plenty bad preachers for The Devil to stoke Feed 'em in feet first this is no joke This is thirsty work making Holy Smoke Jimmy Reptile and all his friends Say they gonna be with you at the end Burning records, burning books Holy soldiers Nazi looks Crocodile smiles just wait a while Till the TV Queen gets her make up clean I've lived in filth I've lived in sin And I still smell cleaner than the shit you're in [Chorus] They ain't religious but they ain't no fools When Noah built his Cadillac it was cool Two by two they're still going down And the satellite circus just left town I think they're strange and when they're dead They can have a Lincoln for their bed Friend of the President - trick of the tail Now they ain't got a prayer - 100 years in jail [Chorus]
There are times when I've wondered And times when I've cried When my prayers they were answered At times when I've lied But if you asked me a question Would I tell you the truth Now there's something to bet on You've got nothing to lose When I've sat by the window And gazed at the rain With an ache in my heart But never feeling the pain And if you would tell me Just what my life means Walking a long road Never reaching the end God give me the answer to my life God give me the answer to my dreams God give me the answer to my prayers God give me the answer to my being
When it all comes down the line, And the lights they turn to greed And you race off with your tires screaming Rolling Thunder, And the people choke with poison Children cry in fear But you've got your fast bullet, One way ticket outta here [Chorus] Fall on your knees today And pray the world will mend its way Get to your feet again Refugees from the heartbreak and the pain In the cities in the streets There's a tension you can feel The breaking strain is fast approaching Guns and Riots Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins And the Press get fed the scapegoats Public Enema number one [Chorus] A million network slaves In an advertising new age I don't need a crystal ball to sell ya Your children have more brains Than your drug infested remains California dreaming as the Earth dies screaming [Chorus]
Why is it some of us are destined to stay alive And some of us are here just so that we'll die How come the bullet hits the other guy Do we have to try and reason why [Chorus] Be it the Devil or be it him You can count on just one thing When the time is up you'll know Not just one power runs the show Are we the lucky ones saved for another day Or they the lucky ones who are taken away Is it a hand on your shoulder from the Lord above Or the Devil himself come to give you a shove. [Chorus] A volcano erupts and sweeps a town away A hurricane devastates the cities in its way The grief and misery for the ones that are left behind The worst is yet to come a hell to face mankind [Chorus]
Now the contracts out They've put the word about I'm coming after you It's not the money I make It's the thrill of the chase And I'm coming after you I watch your every move Study the things you do And the pattern of your ways I watch the way you walk I hear your telephone talk I want to understand the way you think [Chorus] Better watch out, cos I'm the Assassin Better watch out, Better watch out Assassin I'm in a cold cold sweat I taste the smell of death I know the moment's getting closer And as you walk to the light I feel my hands go tight Excitement running through my veins I've got you in my sights I've got you dead to rights The triggers waiting for my finger I feel adrenalin rush It's just the final touch You can kiss your arse goodbye [Chorus]
The convoy lights are dead ahead The Merchantmen lay in their bed, The trump of... diesels hammers down, In the oily sea - the killing ground, His knuckles white his eyes alight, He slams the hatch on the deadly night, A cunning fox in the chickens lair A hound of hell and the devil don't care [Chorus] Running silent, Running deep, we are your final prayer, Warriors in secret sleep, a merchantman's nightmare, A silent death lies waiting, for all of you below, Running silent, Running deep, sink into your final sleep Chill the hearts of fighting men, In open ocean wondering when? The lethal silver fish will fly The boat will shiver - men will die A cast of millions - a part of play Killer? Victim? or fool for a day Obeying an order - men have to die Us or them - a well rehearsed lie [Chorus] The lifeboats shattered the hull is torn, The tar black smell of burning oil, On the way down to Davy Jones, Every man for himself - you're on your own The wolf eyes watch the crosswire "Stern tubes ready", "Aim and fire!" They can pin some medal on your chest, But in two more weeks - dead like the rest [Chorus]
I got the keys to view at number 22 Behind my Green door there's nothing to see Is that a feature, what kind of creature, Would hang around waiting for a guy like me Stone cold sober and sitting in silence, laid back and looking for sympathy I like a girl who knows where she's bound I don't like girls who've been hanging around [Chorus] Hooks in you, hooks in me, hooks in the ceiling For that well hung feeling No big deal, no big sin, strung up on love I Got the hooks screwed in [Chorus] She's tied up she can't come to the phone, You must have got your wires crossed cos she ain't home Knock on wood - you know I like that sound She never could keep her feet on the ground [Chorus] Hooks in you, I've got those hooks in you Hooks in you, in you Right on the money got it wrapped up tight New ideas for the decor tonight Gonna make this house a preservation zone Gonna set her in concrete set her up on her own [Chorus]
Honey it's getting close to midnight And all the myths are still in town True love and lipstick on your linen Bite the pillow make no sound If there's some living to be done Before your life becomes your tomb You'd better know that I'm the one So unchain your back door invite me around [Chorus] Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter Let her go, let her go, let her go Honey it's getting close to daybreak The sun is creeping in the sky No patent remedies for heartache Just empty words and humble pie So get down on your knees honey Assume an attitude You just pray that I'll be waiting Cos you know I'm coming soon So pick up your foolish pride, no going back No where, no way, no place to hide [Chorus]
Mother Russia how are you sleeping Middle winter cold winds blow From the trees the snowflakes drifting Swirling round like ghosts in the snow Mother Russia poetry majestic Tells the time of a great empire Turning round the old man ponders Reminiscing an age gone by Mother Russia Dance of the Tsars Hold up your heads Be proud of what you are Now it has come Freedom at last Turning the tides of history And your past Mother Russia Dance of the Tsars Hold up your heads Remember who you are Can you release The anger the grief Can you be happy Now your people are free
I am a man who walks alone And when I?m walking a dark road At night or strolling through the park When the light begins to change I sometimes feel a little strange A little anxious when it?s dark Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something?s Always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone?s Always there Have you run your fingers down The wall And have you felt your neck skin crawl When you?re searching for the light? Sometimes when you?re scared To take a look At the corner of the room You?ve sensed that something?s Watching you Have you ever been alone at night Thought you heard footsteps behind And turned around and no one?s there? And as you quicken up your pace You find it hard to look again Because you?re sure there?s Someone there Watching horror films the night before Debating witches and folklore The unknown troubles on your mind Maybe your mind is playing tricks You sense, and suddenly eyes fix On dancing shadows from behind Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have constant fear that something?s Always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone?s Always there When I?m walking a dark road I am a man who walks alone
Maybe one day I'll be an honest man Up till now I'm doing the best I can Long roads, long days, of sunrise, to sunset Of sunrise to sunset Dream on brothers, while you can Dream on sister, I hope you find the one All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time Spend your days full of emptiness Spend your years full of loneliness Wasting love, in a desperate caress Rolling shadows of nights Dream on brothers, while you can Dream on sisters, I hope you find the one All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time Sands are flowing and the lines are in your hand In your eyes I see the hunger, and the desperate cry that tears the night Spend your days full of emptiness Spend your years full of loneliness Wasting love, in a desperate caress Rolling shadows of nights Rolling shadows of nights Rolling shadows of nights
Covered in sinners and dripping with gilt Making you money from slime and from filth Parading your bellies in ivory towers Investing our lives in your schemes and your powers You got to watch them - Be quick or be dead Snake eyes in heaven - The thief's in your head You've got to watch them - Be quick or be dead Snake eyes in heaven - The thief's in your head.... Be quick ! Or be dead ! Be quick ! Or be dead See... what's ruling all our lives See... who pulling the strings... I bet you won't fall on your face Your belly will hold you in place The serpent is crawling inside of your ear He says must vote for what you want to hear Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright So pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind. You got to watch them - Be quick or be dead Snake eyes in heaven - The thief's in your head You've got to watch them - Be quick or be dead Snake eyes in heaven - The thief's in your head.... Be quick! Or be dead! Be quick! Or be dead!
She fell in love with his greasy machine She leaned over wiped his kickstart clean She'd never seen the beast before But she left there wanting more more more But when she was walking on down the road She heard a sound that made her heart explode He whispered to her to get on the back "I'll take you on ride from here to eternity" [Chorus: (2 times)] Hell ain't a bad place Hell is from here to eternity She must be having one of her crazy dreams She'd never sat on a piece so mean I've made her feel like she's on cloud nine She even thought she heard the engine sigh. But like all dreams that come to an end They took a tumble at the devil's bend The beast and Charlotte they were two of a kind They'd always take the line... from here to eternity [Chorus 2 times]
Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow But it's not fear 'cos I'd rather go now Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead The desert sand mound a burial ground When it comes to the time Are we partners in crime ? When it comes to the time We'll be ready to die God let us go now and finish what's to be done Thy Kingdom come Thy shall be done... on earth Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go Should we live and let live Forget or forgive But how can we let them go on this way ? The reign of terror corruption must end And we know deep down there's no other way No trust, no reasoning, no more to say Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers.
We live our lives in fever In choking sweat of fear In the heat of the night you can feel so much In the heat of the night I scream "Don't touch" [Chorus:] I remember a time when we used and abused And we fought all our battles in vain I remember a time we thought that passion was free In the heat of the night... bodies aflame We live in fever... I hear your secret heartbeat I can hear your silent cries The kids have lost their freedom And nobody cares till somebody famous dies... [Chorus:] Now we live, in a world of uncertainty Fear is the key - to what you want to be You don't get a say the majority gets it's way You're outnumbered by the bastards till the day you die...
I'd sail across the ocean I'd walk a hundred miles If I could make it to the end Oh just to see a smile You see it in their faces The sadness in their tears The desperation and the anger Madness and the fear [Chorus:] No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, just greed is here Starvation and the hunger The suffering and the pain The agonies of all-out war When will it come again ? The struggle for the power A tyrant tries again Just what the hell is going on ? When will it ever end ? [Chorus:] You see the full moon float You watch the red sun rise We take these things for granted But somewhere someone's dying Contaminated waters Pollution and decay Just waiting for disease to strike Oh will we learn someday ? No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, no seed, childhoods end.
On a cold October morning As frost lay on the ground Waiting to make my move I made no sound Waiting for the mist to cover all around I carefully picked my time then took the wall I'm sick and tired of running The hunger and the pain A stop to look about then off again Being at the wrong place And at the wrong time Suspected of a hit that was my crime [Chorus:] I am a fugitive being hunted down like game I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name Always looking 'round me Forever looking back I'll always be a target for attack Every morning onwards Always on the run Waiting for a sight of a loaded gun [Chorus:] Even if I find them And get to clear my name I know that things can never be the same But if I ever prove My innocence some day I've got to get them all to make them pay [Chorus:]
There's a madman in the corner of your eye He likes to pry-into your sunlight He wants to burst into the street with you and I A world of shadows and of rain He's seen what love is... He wants to pay you back with guilt... [Chorus:] He lies to you he won't let you be He's got your Chains of misery He won't be still till he's turned your key He holds your Chains of misery There's prophet in the gutter in the street He say "You're damned !" - and you believe him... He's got a vision but it shines out through your eyes A world of hatred and fear... He's felt what love means... He wants to pay you back with pain [Chorus:] It's only love that holds the key to our hearts... only love... [Chorus 2 times]
Now I'm here can you see me 'Cos I'm out on my own When the room goes cold tell me you can feel me ..........'cos I'm here Here I am, can you see me Passing through, on my way To a place I'd been to only in my dreams... before In a world of delusion Never turn your back on a friend 'Cause you can count your real true friends on one hand ..........through life There are those that deceive you There are those That'll let you down Is there someone out there that would die for you ..........thought not Live your life with a passion Everything you do, do well You only get out of life what you put in ..........so they say In a world of confusion People never say that what they mean If you want a straight answer go look for one ..........right now In a room full of strangers Do you stand with your back to the wall Do you sometimes feel like you're on the outside ..........looking in ? You can make your own luck You create your destiny I believe you have the power if you want to ..........it's true You can do what you want to If you try a little bit harder A little bit of faith goes a long way ..........it does Are we here for a reason ? I'd like to know just what you think It would be nice to know what happened when we die ..........wouldn't it ? There are some who are wise There are some who are born naive I believe that there are some that must have lived before ..........don't you ? As for me, well I'm thinking You gotta keep an open mind But I hope that my life's not an open and shut case. Extra Sensory Perception Life After Death, telepathy Can the soul live on and travel through space and time ? You know I feel so elated 'Cause I'm about to find it out And when I know all the answers Maybe then I'll come back ..........to fill you in You don't be alarmed now If I try to contact you If things go missing or get moved around ...it's me And don't disbelieve it No matter what your `friends' might say We'll meet up again some place some way ..........one day
Lights out - We live in a world of darkness No doubt - Everything's up for sale We sleep - All of the world is burning We pray - To god for better deal Nothing is sacred - Back then or now Everything's wasted... Is that all there is ? Can I go now ? [Chorus:] Judas my guide Whispers in the night Judas my guide Fight wars - Die in a blaze of glory Come home - Meat in a plastic sack Fall down - Better pray to your god for mercy So kneel - and help the blade cut clean Nothing is sacred - Back then or now Everyone's wasted... Is that all there is ? Is that it now ? I live in the black I have no guiding light I'm whispering in your dreams... [Chorus 2 times]
The rebel of yesterday, tomorrow's fool Who are you kidding being that cool ? Trying to break away from running with the pack But they ain't listening so you've gotta go back You're a weekend warrior when you're one of the crowd But it's over, just look at you now... You're not so brave the way you behave It makes you sick, gotta get out quick It's all bravado when you're out with your mates It's like a different person goes through those gates And the game begins, the adrenalin's high Feel the tension maybe someone will die... [Chorus:] A weekend warrior lately A weekend warrior sometimes A weekend warrior maybe you ain't that way anymore You've gotta get out gotta get away But you're in with a clique it's not easy to stray You've gotta admit you're just living a lie It didn't take long to workout why It's hard to say why you got involved Just waiting to be part, just waiting to belong... [Chorus:] Some of the things that you've done you feel so ashamed After all it's only a game... isn't it ? And after all the adrenalin's gone What you gonna do on Monday ? A weekend warrior lately A weekend warrior sometimes A weekend warrior maybe you were never like that at all.
Eleven saintly shrouded men Silhouettes stand against the sky One in front with a cross held high Come to wash my sins away Standing alone in the wind and rain Feeling the fear that is growing Sensing the change in the tide again Brought by the storm that is brewing Feel the anxiety hold off the fear Some of the doubts in the things you believe Now that your faith will be put to the test Nothing to do but await what is coming Why then is god still protecting me Even when I don't deserve it Thought I am blessed with an inner strength Some they would call it a penance Why am I meant to face this alone Asking the question time and again Praying to god won't keep me alive Inside my head feel the fear start to rise... They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes There'll be penace to pay when it's judgement day And the guilty'll bleed when that moment comes They'll be coming to claim, take your soul away The sign of the cross The name of the rose, a fire in the sky The sign of the cross They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame They'll be bringing us all immortality Holding communion so the world be blessed My creator, my god'll lay my soul to rest The sign of the cross The name of the rose, a fire in the sky The sign of the cross Lost the love of heaven above Chose the lust of the earth below Eleven saintly shrouded men Came to wash my sins away
I don't care for this world anymore I just want to live my own fantasy Fate has brought me to these shores What was meant to be is now happening I've found that I like this living in danger Living on the edge it feels... it makes me feel as one Who cares now what's right or wrong it's reality Killing so we survive wherever we may roam Wherever we may hide we've got to get away I don't want existence to end We must prepare ourselves for the elements I just want to feel like we're strong We don't need a code of morality I like all the mixed emotion and anger It brings out the animal the power you can feel And feeling so high on this much adrenalin Excited but scary to believe what we've become Saints and sinners Something within us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners Something willing us To be lord of the flies
The freeway is jammed and it's backed up for miles The car is an oven and baking is wild Nothing is ever the way it should be What we deserve we just don't get you see A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge Each step gets closer to losing his head Is someone in heaven are they looking down 'Cause nothing is fair just you look around Falling down He's sick of waiting of lying like this There's a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss Branded a leper because you don't fit In the land of the free you just live by your wits Once he built missiles a nation's defence Now he can't even give birthday presents Across the city he leaves in his wake A glimpse of the future a cannibal state Falling down The freeway is jammed and it's backed up for miles The car is an oven and baking is wild Nothing is ever the way it should be What we deserve we just don't get you see A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge Each step gets closer to losing his head Is someone in heaven are they looking down 'Cause nothing is fair just you look around Falling down
After the war and now that they've sent us homeward I can't help but feel that I'm on my own No one can see just what this conflict has done to The minds of the man who are on their way home I'm scared for life but it's not my flesh that's wounded So how can I face the torment alone The vivid scenes and all the recurring nightmares I lay there and sweat until it gets light... People say "Don't worry" Say that time's a perfect healer That the nightmares they will come to pass Can't hear what they're saying I am living in my own world And I'm feeling trance like all the time I hear voices in my head Could I really be going crazy In the night the visions seem so real Do you care if you live or die When you laugh are you really crying You're not sure what's real anymore Fortunes of war Fortunes of war no pain anymore Sometimes I wake I feel that my spirit's broken I wonder if I've the strenght... to carry on.
All my dark dreams drift like smoke in the breeze The fear grips me as I fall towards my sleep Here comes the nightmare that never ends Here is the dream that makes monsters of men In the house of my soul In rooms of ugliness and cold Memories locked away All the doubts and fears I never faced Now they come again I am falling down to meet with them Fears within us all Mine awake and they stand up tall Look for the truth Deepest cut of all from you Knife of the truth Blade of hatred slicing through I pray my sleep will break Maybe this time I won't wake Weakness I hide so well This dagger in my mind will tell It's my final stand I make a fist out of each hand To shadows of the past Take a breath and I scream attack Look for the truth Deepest cut of all from you Knife of the truth Blade of hatred slicing through Here is the truth Deepest cut of all from you Knife of the truth Blade of hatred slicing through
Silently to silence fall In the fields of futile war Toys of death are spitting lead Where boys that were our soldiers bled War horse and war machine Curse the name of liberty Marching on as if they should Mix in the dirt our brothers' blood In the mud and rain What are we fighting for Is it worth the pain Is it worth dying for Who will take the blame Why did they make a war Questions that come again Should we be fighting at all Once a ploughman hitches his team Here he sowed ? his little dream Now bodies arms and legs are strewn Where mustard gas and barbwire bloom Each moment's like a year I've nothing left inside for tears Comrades dead or dying lie I'm left alone asking why In the mud and rain What are we fighting for Is it worth the pain Is it worth dying for Who will take the blame Why did they make a war Questions that come again Should we be fighting at all After the war Left feeling no one has won After the war What does a soldier become War is over and battles are gone After the war no one has won I'm just a soldier
A lonely cry for help preaching out for help to anyone A silent prayer to god to help you on your way I've been depressed so long It's hard to remember when I was happy I've felt like suicide a dozen times or more But that's the easy way, that's the selfish way The hardest part is to get on with your life You're searching in the dark clutching at straws to find a way You take the tarot cards and throw them to the wind You ? question your beliefs your inner thoughts, Your whole existence And if there is a good then answer if you will And tell me of my fate, tell me of my place Tell me if I'll ever rest in peace If you could live your life again Would you change a thing or leave it all the same If you had the chance again Would you change the thing at all When you look back at your past Can you say that you are proud of what you've done Are there times when you believe That the right you thought was wrong All of my life I have believed Judgement of heaven is waiting for me All of my life now I have believed Judgement of heaven awaits for me...
Sometimes it makes me wonder Sometimes it makes me question Sometimes it makes me saddened Always it makes me angry but... When you can see it happening The madness that's all around you Nobody seems to worry The world seems so powerless to act... It's out of control Blood on the world's hands Each day a new toll Another assassination The same day a new creation But what are they coming into Security of a world that brings... One day another killing Somewhere there's someone straying Another a savage raping Meanwhile there's someone laughing at us It's out of control Blood on the world's hands Each day it goes on Brutality and aggression Tomorrow another lesson Expecting another air raid Praying for a ceaserfire They say things are getting better No need to be complacent There's chaos across the border And one day it could be happening to us It's out of control Blood on the world's hands It's our epitaph It's out of control Someone should know Blood on the world's hands Someone should
I've looked into the heart of darkness Where the blood-red journey ends When you've faced the heart of darkness Even your soul begins to bend For a week I have been waiting Still I am only in Saigon The walls move in a little closer I feel the jungle call me on Every minute I get weaker While in the jungle they grow strong What I wanted was a mission And for my sins they gave me one They brought it up just like room service 'Cause everyone gets what they want And when that mission was all over I'd never want another one Oh! I know, captain, That you've done this work before We've got a problem You can help us all I'm sure The colonel's gone rogue And his methods are unsound You'll take a PBR up river track him down There's a conflict in every human heart And the temptation is to take it all to far In this war things get so confused But there are some things Which cannot be excused He's acting like a God - an insane lunatic Your mission - terminate with extreme prejudice Your route is dangerous and your progress may be slow Here is the file and it's all you need to know Oh! Oh! Here I am the knife in my hand And now I understand why the genius must die Now I stand alone in the darkness With his blood upon my hands Where sat the warrior the poet Now lie the fragments of a man I've looked into the heart of darkness Where the blood-red journey ends When you've faced the heart of darkness Even your soul begins to bend
I get in from work at 2 a.m. and sit down with beer Turn on late night TV and then wonder why I'm here It's meaningless and trivial and it washes over me And once again I wonder is this all there is for me Here I am again Look at me again Here I am Again On my own Trying hard to see What there is for me Here I am again On my own Life seems so pathetic I wish I could leave it all behind This canvas chair, this bed, these walls that fall in on my mind Hold on for something better That just drags you through the dirt Do you just let go or carry on and try to take the hurt Here I am again Look at me again Here I am Again On my own Trying hard to see What there is for me Here I am again On my own
When you start to take a look within Do you feel at ease with what you see Do you think you can have peace of mind And have self-belief or be satisfied Do you think you even like yourself Or really think you could be someone else Is there something that you'd rather be Never thought you'd be had the chance to see All my life I've run away All my life I tried to hide away Feel the paranoia creeping in Like a cancer eating at the skin Do you feel you've lost your self-esteem And your self respect, what can you expect All my life...I've run away All my life I tried to hide away All my life...I've run astray Let my faith...slip away All my life...I've run astray Allowed my faith...to drift away Are you scared to look inside your mind Are you worried just at what you'll find Do you really want to face the truth Does it matter now, what have you got to lose Try to release the anger from within Forgive yourself a few immortal sins Do you really care what people think Are you strong enough to release the guilt All my life...I've run away All my life I tried to hide away All my life...I've run astray Let my faith...slip away All my life...I've run astray Allowed my faith...to drift away
There's an evil virus that's threatening mankind Not state of the art, a serious state of the mind The muggers, the backstabbers, the two faced elite A menace to society, a social disease Rape of the mind is a social disorder The cynics, the apathy oneupmanship order Watching beginnings of social decay Gloating or sneering at life's disarray Eating away at your own self esteem Pouncing on every word that you might be saying Rape of the mind is a social disorder The cynics, the apathy oneupmanship order Superficially smiling a shake of the hand As soon as the back is turned treachery is planned Rape of the mind is a social disorder The cynics, the apathy oneupmanship order Watching beginnings of social decay Gloating or sneering...at life's disarray When every good thing's laid to waste By all the jealousy and hate By all the acid wit and rapier lies And every time you think you're safe And when you go to turn away You know they're sharpening all their paper knives All in your mind All in your head Try to relate it All in your mind All in your head Try to escape it Without a conscience they destroy And that's thing that they enjoy They're a sickness that's in all our minds They want to sink the ship and leave The way they laugh at you and me You know it happens all the time All in your mind All in your head Try to relate it All in your mind All in your head Try to escape it The rats in the cellar you know who you are... Or do you? Watching beginnings of social decay........
Out of winter came a warhorse of steel I've never killed a woman before But I know how it feels I know you'd have gone insane If you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law I met up with a stranger last night To keep me alive He spends all his money on gambling And guns to survive I know you'd have gone insane If you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law So give me Sanctuary from the law And I'll be alright Just me Sanctuary from the law And love me tonight ... tonight I know you'd have gone insane If you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law So give me Sanctuary from the law And I'll be alright Just me Sanctuary from the law And love me tonight ... tonight I can laugh at the wind I can howl at the rain Down in the Canyon Or out on the plain I know you'd have gone insane If you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law So give me Sanctuary from the law And I'll be alright Just me Sanctuary from the law And love me tonight ... tonight

Doctor doctor, please, don't you know I'm goin' fast Doctor doctor, please, don't you know I just can't live She walked up to me and really stole my heart And then she started to take my body apart [Chorus:] Livin' lovin' I'm on the run So far away from you Livin' lovin' I'm on the run So far away from you Doctor doctor, please, don't you know I just can't live Doctor doctor, please, don't you know I'm goin' fast It's only just a moment She's turning paranoid That's not a situation for a nervous boy Doctor doctor, please, don't you know I'm goin' fast Doctor doctor, please, don't you know I just can't live But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor She's got the strength, and I can't take any more [Chorus:] Doctor doctor, please, don't you know I'm goin' fast Doctor doctor, please, don't you know I just can't live But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor She's got the strength, and I can't take any more
I'm running of my time, I'm running out of breath And now it's getting, so I can't sleep at night in the day, I feel like death I'm getting in far too deep, I feel they closing in I've got to say that I'm scared, I know they'll win Even so, I prepared [Chorus:] Do you believe, what you hear Can you believe, what you see Do you believe, what you feel Can you believe What is real? Futureal What is real? Futureal Wherever anyone seems to treat me like a freak It makes me see I'm only one who feels That I know what is real Sometimes it feels like a game of deadly hide and seek And when you reading this, then I will be gone Maybe then, you will see [Chorus 2 times]
Roll of the dice Take a spin of the wheel Out of your hands now So how do you feel but you're not gonna win You'd better go back again Do you feel lucky Or do you feel scared? Take what luck brings and be Devil may care But you're down on your luck What will the next day bring? Adrift on the ocean Afloat in a daydream Or lost in a maze Or blind in the haze So what does it matter? So why don't you answer? So why did you send An angel to mend? Best make decisions Before it's too late Take all your chances Take hold of the reins A roll of the dice Ahead of the game again Nothing to lose But so much to gain A little danger It goes without saying But what do you care You're gonna go in the end Gate open to heaven Is ready and waiting Or straight down to hell Can go there as well I'll suffer my craving My soul's not worth saving So why don't you go Just leave well alone [12x] Don't you think I'm a saviour Don't you think I could save you Don't you think I could save your life There's like a hunger That knocks on your door You've had a taste of it Still you want more You've made your mistakes Won't play it the same again You have been warned But still you plunge in You play high stakes But there's nothing to win You've only one life And so many things to learn The angel on one side The devil the other Which path do you take? Decisions to make Arrive at the crossroads You know where you're going And what if you wait It may be too late [10x] Don't you think I'm a saviour Don't you think I could save you Don't you think I could save your life
I feel the breeze on my face in expectance Not very long before the storm reaches here Off in the distance the lightning is flashing again Feel something strong as the power draws near Is it the rolling thunder that scares you Is it the crashing of clouds that hold fear But all I know as I sit in a corner alone It takes me back to my childhood again And as I wait and look for an answer To all the things going round in my head I ask myself could it be a disaster and when It's maybe threatening to happen again As the ominous light draws near There's a lone dog howls in the park All the people hurry inside As the lightning flash lights dark The storm is nearly here Only god will know You're sitting alone you watch As the wind is blowing treetops And the swaying rusting of leaves Plenty all time to perceive As you wait for rain to fall Only god knows The whole sky glows Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes Twice
Wake alone in the hills With the wind in your face It feels good to be proud And be free and a race That is part of a clan And to live on highlands And the air that you breathe So pure and so clean When alone on the hills With the wind in your hair With a longing to feel Just to be free It is right to believe In the need to be free It's a time when you die And without asking why Can't you see what they do They are grinding us down They are taking our land That belongs to the clans Not alone with a dream Just a want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman... Freedom [x4] It's a time wrough with fear It's a land wrough with change Ancestors could hear What is happening now They would turn in their graves They would all be ashamed That the land of the free Has been written in chains And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman And I swear to defend And we'll fight to the end And I swear that I'll never Be taken alive And I know that we'll stand And we'll fight for our land And I swear that my bairns Will be born free And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman...

And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman... Freedom [x4] And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman...
My telescope looks out Into the stars tonight A little speck of light Seems twice the size tonight The calculations are so fine Can it be growing all the time?

Como esta amigo For the death of those we don't know Shall we kneel and say a prayer They will never know we care Shall we keep the fires burning Shall we keep the flames alight Should we try to remember What is wrong and what is right No more tears, no more tears If we live for a hundred years Amigos no more tears If we do forget them and The sacrifice they made Will the wickedness and sadness Come to visit us again Shall we dance a dance in sunlight Shall we drink a wine of peace Shall our tears be of joy Shall we keep at bay the beast No more tears, no more tears If we live for a hundred years Amigos no more tears Inside the scream is silent Inside it must remain No victory and no vanquishment Only horror, only pain No more tears, no more tears If we live for a hundred years Amigos no more tears
Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do Your tongue has frozen now you've got something to say The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death Hello to eternity and live for every breath Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come The ferryman wants his money you ain't going to give it back He can push his own boat as you set up off the track Nothing you can contemplate will ever be the same Every second is a new spark, sets the universe aflame You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light Brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain The shadow of the Wicker Man is rising up again Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come
I have sailed to many lands, now I make my final journey On the bow I stand, west is where I go Through the night I plough, still my heart, calculate and pray As the compass swings, my will is strong, I will not be led astray Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, but I know, but I know I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, navigator's son, Chasing rainbows all my days Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so, Nothing's real until you feel I steer between the crashing rocks, the sirens call my name Lash my hands onto the helm, blood surging with the strain I will not fail now as sunrise comes the darkness left behind For eternity I follow on there is no other way Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, I know I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, Navigator's son Chasing rainbows all my days Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so Nothing's real until you feel I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, Navigator's son Chasing rainbows all my days Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so Nothing's real until you feel
Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home Wilderness house of pain, makes no sense of it all Close this mind dull this brain, Messiah before his fall What you see is not real, those who know will not tell All is lost sold your souls to this brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world Dragon kings dying queens, where is salvation now Lost my life lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh Silent screams laughing here, dying to tell you the truth You are planned and you are damned in this brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world Dying swans twisted wings, bring this savage back home
And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life What do you think you'd expect you would see? Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life And in the river reflections of me Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see And in a movement he beckons to me And in a moment the memories are all that remain And all the wounds are reopening again We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers And as you look all around at the world in dismay What do you see, do you think we have learned Not if you're taking a look at the war-torn affray Out in the streets where the babies are burned We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers There are time when I feel I'm afraid for the world There are times I'm ashamed of us all When you're floating on all the emotion you feel And reflecting the good and the bad Will we ever know what the answer to life really is? Can you really tell me what life is? Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you Could be swept away by fate's own hand We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers When you think that we've used all our chances And the chance to make everything right Keep on making the same old mistakes Makes untipping the balance so easy When we're living our lives on the edge Say a prayer on the book of the dead We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life...

When a person turns to wrong, is it a want to be, belong? Part of things at any cost, at what price a life is lost At what point do we begin, fighter spirit a will to win But what makes a man decide, take the wrong or righteous road There's a thin line between love and hate Wider divide that you can see between good and bad There's a grey place between black and white But everyone does have the right to choose the path that he takes We all like to put the blame on society these days But what kind of good or bad a new generation brings Sometimes take just more than that to survive be good at heart There is evil in some of us no matter what will never change I will hope, my soul will fly, so I will live forever Heart will die, my soul will fly, and I will live forever Just a few small tears between someone happy and one sad Just a thin line drawn between being a genius or insane At what age begin to learn of which way out we will turn There's a long and winding road and the trail is there to burn There's a thin line between love and hate Wider divide that you can see between good and bad There's a grey place between black and white But everyone does have the right to choose the path that he takes I will hope, my soul will fly, so I will live forever Heart will die, my soul will fly, and I will live forever I will hope, my soul will fly, so I will live forever Heart will die, my soul will fly, and I will live forever The thin line between love and hate The thin line between love and hate
I'm gonna organize some changes in my life I'm gonna exorcise the demons of my past I'm gonna take the car and hit the open road I'm feeling ready to just open up and go And I just feel I can be anything That all I might ever wish to be And fantasize just what I want to be Make my wildest dreams come true I'm on my way Out on my own again I'm on my way Out on the road again When I remember back to how that things just used to be And I was stuck inside a shroud of misery I felt I'd disappeared so deep inside myself I couldn't find a way to break away my hell When I'm feeling down and low I vow I'll never be the same again I just remember what I am And visualize just what I'm gonna be I'm on my way Out on my own again I'm on my way Out on the road again I'm on my way Out on my own again I'm on my way I'm gonna breakaway
When I was wandering in the desert And was searching for the truth I heard a choir of angels calling out my name I had the feeling that my life would never be the same again I turned my face towards the barren sun And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves And the cracks in our lives like the cracks upon the ground They are sealed and are now washed away [Chorus:] You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears..... And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives They are sealed and now far away [Repeat chorus, 3rd verse]
There's a darkened sky before me There's no time to prepare Salvage a last horizon But no regrets from me Maybe I'll be back some other day To live again just who can say In what shape or form that I might be Just another chance for me A hurried time no disgrace Instead of racing to conclusion And wishing all my life away No-one can stop me now Time is up it couldn't last But there's more things I'd like to do I'm coming back to try again Someday maybe I'll wait till then No more lies... They're all sitting at my table Talking tall and drinking wine Their time is up just like me But they just don't know it yet So just a word of warning When you're in your deepest dreams There's nothing you can hide from I've got my eye on you The clock is fast, the hour is near Eventful past is everclear My life is set, the time is here I think I'm coming home No more lies... A hurried time, no disgrace Instead of racing to conclusions And wishing all your life away No-one can stop me now Time is up it couldn't last But there's more things I have to do I'm coming back to try again Don't tell me that this is the end No more lies...
I stand alone in this desolate space In death they are truly alive Massacred innocence, evil took place The angels were burning inside Centuries later I wonder why What secret they took to their grave Still burning heretics under our skies Religion's still burning inside [Chorus:] At the gates and the walls of Montségur Blood on the stones of the citadel At the gates and the walls of Montségur Blood on the stones of the citadel At the gates and the walls of Montségur Blood on the stones of the citadel At the gates and the walls of Montségur Blood on the stones of the citadel As we kill them all so God will know his own The innocents died for the Pope on his throne Catholic greed and its paranoid zeal Curse of the grail and the blood of the cross Templar believers with blood on their hands Joined in the chorus to kill on demand Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty To stand with the cathars, to die and be free The book of Old Testament crippled and black Satan - his weapon is lust Leaving this evil damnation of flesh Back to the torture of lies The perfect ones willingly died at the stake And all of their followers slain As for the knowledge of God they had claimed Religion's still burning inside [Repeat chorus, 3rd verse] Templar believers with blood on their hands Joined in the chorus to kill on command Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty Still running heretics under our skies As we kill them all so God know his own Laugh at the darkness and in god we trust The eye in the triangle smiling with sin No passover feast for the cursed within Facing the sun as they went to their grave Burn like a dog or you live like a slave Death is the price for your soul's liberty To stand with the cathars and to die and be free [Repeat chorus]
Let me tell you a story to chill the bones About a thing that I saw One night wandering in the everglades I'd one drink but no more I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight Gazing up at the stars Not aware of a presence so near to me Watching my every move Feeling scared and I fell to my knees As something rushed me from the trees Took me to an unholy place And that is where I fell from grace Then they summoned me over to join in with them To the dance of the dead Into the circle of fire I followed them Into the middle I was led As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear But still I wanted to go And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me As I walked onto the coals And I felt I was in a trance And my spirit was lifted from me And if only someone had the chance To witness what happened to me And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them All had death in their eyes Lifeless figures they were undead all of them They had ascended from hell As I danced with the dead My free spirit was laughing and howling down at me Below my undead body Just danced the circle of dead Until the time came to reunite us both My spirit came back down to me I didn't know if I was alive or dead As the others all joined in with me By luck then a skirmish started And took the attention away from me When they took their gaze from me Was the moment that I fled I ran like hell faster than the wind But behind I did not glance One thing that I did not dare Was to look just straight ahead When you know that your time has come around You know you'll be prepared for it Say your last goodbyes to everyone Drink and say a prayer for it When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead To this day I guess I'll never know Just why they let me go But I'll never go dancing no more 'Til I dance with the dead
Weaving a thread round your heart and your soul Deceiving your eyes and delaying your goal Ships in the night when they pass out of sight Deliver their cargo of earthly delights To the women and children, the souls of the dead I've opened their book and no mercy is shed You want forgiveness and you want it cheap I don't give redemption rewards for the meek Suffering evil when you pay the price of fame There isn't a god to save you if you don't save yourself You can't blame a madman for this, if you go insane Give me the strength so I carry on [Chorus:] Trapped in the web - but I cut the threads Show you the gates of tomorrow Trapped in the web - no mercy is shed Show you the gates of tomorrow Trapped in the web - slaves to the dead Show you the gates of tomorrow Trapped in the web - but I cut the threads Show you the gates of tomorrow [Repeat 3rd verse] [Chorus:] Trapped in the web - but I cut the threads Show you the gates of tomorrow Trapped in the web - slaves to the dead Show you the gates of tomorrow Trapped in the web - no mercy is shed Show you the gates of tomorrow Trapped in the web - but I cut the threads Show you the gates of tomorrow
Bleeding you dry from the start The sum of my parts To give it away New life in a day Some new Frankenstein Damned for all time Cursed by the angel who fell Who saves me from hell? And who is my god? And where is my soul? Too tired to jump too young to run [Bridge:] Neverending, forever searching Chasing dreams, the dreams of my heart Always seeking, always asking Questions right from the start [Chorus:] Out beyond the new frontier Playing god without mercy, without fear Create a beast, made a man without a soul Is it worth the risk - a war of god and man? Is it worth the risk - a war of god and man? I want to end my life now But I don't know how Recycled again a lifetime of pain The spawn of a man The devil has planned [Repeat bridge, chorus]
In a foreign field he lay Lonely soldier, unknown grave On his dying words he prays Tell the world of Paschendale Relive all that he's been through Last communion of his soul Rust your bullets with his tears Let me tell you 'bout his years Laying low in a blood filled trench Kill time 'til my very own death On my face I can feel the falling rain Never see my friends again In the smoke, in the mud and lead Smell the fear and the feeling of dread Soon be time to go over the wall Rapid fire and end of us all Whistles, shouts and more gun fire Lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb Be reunited with my dead friends soon Many soldiers eighteen years Drown in mud, no more tears Surely a war no-one can win Killing time about to begin Home, far away From the war, a chance to live again Home, far away But the war, no chance to live again The bodies of ours and our foes The sea of death it overflows In no man's land, God only knows Into jaws of death we go Crucified as if on a cross Allied troops they mourn their loss German war propaganda machine Such before has never been seen Swear I heard the angels cry Pray to god no more may die So that people know the truth Tell the tale of Paschendale Cruelty has a human heart Every man does play his part Terror of the men we kill The human heart is hungry still I stand my ground for the very last time Gun is ready as I stand in line Nervous wait for the whistle to blow Rush of blood and over we go Blood is falling like the rain Its crimson cloak unveils again The sound of guns can't hide their shame And so we die on Paschendale Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire Running straight at cannon fire Running blind as I hold my breath Say a prayer symphony of death As we charge the enemy lines A burst of fire and we go down I choke a cry but no-one hears Feel the blood go down my throat Home, far away From the war, a chance to live again Home, far away But the war, no chance to live again Home, far away From the war, a chance to live again Home, far away But the war, no chance to live again See my spirit on the wind Across the lines, beyond the hill Friend and foe will meet again Those who died at Paschendale
Everybody's waiting for something to happen Everybody's waiting for something to see Lunatics waiting for bigger disasters Everyone's waiting for news on TV Winding lives at the end of the spiral Waiting dictators with their next big thrill Everyone's looking, but no one is listening Everybody wants to be in at the kill I wait for the signs, they tell me true I see the signs of the end of time Everyone's searching, but nothing's revealing Everyone's looking for the reason why Everyone's hoping for life everafter Everyone's looking at death from the sky Everyone's nightmares are going to happen Everybody's ripping the mask from their eyes Everyone's praying but no one's believing Everyone's heroes tell everyone's lies I wait for the signs, they tell me true I see the signs of the end [Chorus:] So I watch and I wait And I pray for an answer An end to the strife and the world's misery But the end never came And we're digging the graves And we're loading the guns for the kill Can the end be at hand? Is the face in the sand Future memory of our tragedy? Can the end be at hand? Is the face in the sand Future memory of our tragedy? [Repeat chorus, last verse]
I can't be compromising in my thoughts no more I can't prevent the times my anger fills my heart I can't be sympathizing with a new lost cause I feel I've lost my patience with the world and all And all the politicians and their hollow promises And all the lies, deceit and shame that goes with it The working man pays everything for their mistakes And with his life too if there was to be a war [Chorus:] So we can only get one chance, can we take it? And we only got one life, can't exchange it Can we hold on to what we have, don't replace it The age of innocence is fading like an old dream A life of petty crime gets punished with a holiday The victims' mind are scarred for life most everyday Assailants know just how much further they can go They know the laws are soft, conviction chances low [Repeat chorus] You can't protect yourselves even in your own home For fear of vigilante cries, the victims wipe their eyes So now the criminal they launch right in our face Judical system lets them do it, a disgrace Despondent public worries, where it will all end? We can't protect ourselves, our kids from the crime trend We cannot even warn each other of evil in our midst They have more rights than us, you cannot call that just [Repeat chorus]
From the red sky of the east To the sunset in the west We have cheated death And he has cheated us But that was just a dream And this is what it means We are sleeping And we'll dream for evermore And the fragment remains of our memories And the shadows we made with our hands Deep grey, came to mourn All the colours of the dawn Will this journeyman's day be his last? [Chorus:] I know what I want And I say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want And I say what I want And no one can take it away But the memory still remains All the past years not so strange Our winter times are like a silent shroud And the heartbeat of the day Drives the mist away And winter's not the only dream around In your life you may choose desolation And the shadows you build with your hands If you turn to the light That is burning in the night Then the journeyman's day has begun [Repeat chorus, 5th verse, chorus]
You lead me on the path Keep showing me the way I feel a little lost A little strange today I think I'll take a hold Of whatever comes my way Then we'll see what happens Take it day by day I though I had it all I had it all worked out Just what my future held That there would be no doubt But then the card came up And I took another turn But I don't know if it's Fulfillment that I yearn Tell me what you can hear And then tell me what you see Everybody has a different way To view the world I would like you to know When you see the simple things To appreciate this life It's not too late to learn Don't want to be here Somewhere I'd rather be But when I get there I might find it's not for me Don't know what I want Or where I want to be I'm feeling more confused The more the days go by
It's the same in every country When you say you're leaving Left behind the loved ones Waiting silent in the hall Where you're going lies adventure others only dream of Red and green light this is real and so you go to war For the passion, for the glory For the memories, for the money You're a soldier, for your country What's the difference, all the same Far away from the land of our birth We fly a flag in some foreign earth We sailed away like our fathers before These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war Here is no one that will save you Going down in flames No surrender certain death You look it in the eye On the shores of tyranny you Crashed the human wave Paying for my freedom with your Lonely unmarked graves For the passion, for the glory For the memories, for the money You're a soldier, for your country What's the difference, all the same Far away from the land of our birth We fly a flag in some foreign earth We sailed away like our fathers before These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war

In the gloom the gathering storm abates In the ships gimlet eyes await The call to arms to hammer at the gates To blow them wide throw evil to its fate All summers long the drills to build the machine To turn man from flesh and blood to steel From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach From summer sends to Armageddon's reach Overlord your master not your god The enemy coast dawning grey with scud These wretched souls puking shaking fear To take a bullet for those who send them here The world's all right the cliffs erupt in flame No escape remorseless shrapnel rains Drowning men no chance for a warrior's fate A choking death enter hell's gates Sliding we go only fear on our side To the edge of the wire And we rush with the tide Oh the water is red With the blood of the dead But I'm still alive pray to God I survive How long on this longest day 'Till we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Till we finally make it through The rising dead faces bloated torn They are relieved the living wait their turn Your number's up the bullet's got your name You still go on to hell and back again Valhalla waits Valkyries rise and fall The warrior tombs lie open for us all A ghostly hand reaches through the wall Blood and sand we will prevail Sliding we go only fear on our side To the edge of the wire And we rush with the tide Oh the water is red With the blood of the dead But I'm still alive pray to God I survive How long on this longest day 'Till we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Till we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Till we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Till we finally make it through

Are you a man of peace Or man of holy war Too many sides to you Don't know which any more So many full of life But also filled with pain Don't know just how many Will live to breathe again A life that's made to breath Destruction or defense A mind that's vain corruption Bad or good intent A wolf in a sheep's clothing Or saintly or sinner Or someone that would believe A holy war winner They fire off many shots And many parting blows Their actions beyond a reasoning Only god would know And as he lies in heaven Or it could be in hell I feel he's somewhere here Or looking from below But I don't know, I don't know Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is More pain and misery in the history of mankind Sometimes it seems more like the blind leading the blind It brings upon us more of famine death and war You know religion has a lot to answer for Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is And as they search to find the bodies in the sand They find it's ashes that are scattered across the land And as their spirits seem to whistle on the wind A shot is fired somewhere another war begins And all because of it you'd think that we would learn But still the body count the city fires burn Somewhere there's someone dying in a foreign land Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man Tell me why, tell me why Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is For the greater good of God [x8] Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is For the greater good of God [x8] He gave his life for us he fell upon the cross To die for all of those who never mourn his loss It wasn't meant for us to feel the pain again Tell me why, tell me why
There are secrets that you keep There are secrets that you keep There are secrets that you tell to me alone I can't reach things I can't see You don't see this strange world Quite the same as me Don't deny me what I am Nothing hidden still you fail to see the truth These are things you can't reveal These are things you can't reveal We are part of some strange plan Why the slaughter of the brotherhood of man Infernal sacrifice of hell Fire breathing lead the way Mounds of bodies as they all burn into one Revenge is living in the past Time to look into a new millennium Spiral path leads through the maze Down into the fiery underworld below Fire breathing lead the way Lucifer was just an angel led astray Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries We are not worthy in your black and blazing eyes We gather demons in the mirror every day The bridge of darkness casts a shadow on us all And all our sins to you we give this day Others wait their turn their lives were meant to last Use yours wisely as the light is fading fast Free your soul and let it fly Mine was caught I couldn't try Time returns again to punish all of us We are cast out by our bloody fathers hand We are strangers in this lonely promised land We are shadows of the one unholy ghost In our nightmare world the only one we trust Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries
Tell you a thing That you ought to know Two minutes of your time Then on you go Tell tale of the man All dressed in black That most of them Not coming back Sent off to war To play little games And on their return Can't name no names Some strange yellow gas Has played with their minds Has reddened their eyes Removed all the lies And strange as it sounds Death knows no bounds How many get well Only time will tell Only time will tell You lie in your death bed now But what did you bring to the table Brought us only holy sin Utter trust is a deadly thing To the prayer of holy peace We didn't know what was lying underneath So how could we be such fools And to think that we thought you knew the answer I can't begin to understand in all the lies But on your death bed I can see it in your eyes Just as clear as all the sweat upon your brow It really makes sense I can see it clearly now Tangled up in a web of lies Could have been a way to prophecies Unaware of the consequence Not aware of the secrets that you kept Nothing that we could believe To reveal the facade of faceless men Not a thing that we could foresee Now a sign that would tell us the outcome You had us all strung out with promises of peace But all along your cover plan was to deceive Can it be put to rights now only time will tell Your prophecies will send us all to hell as well Left to all our golden sons All to pick up on the peace You could have given all of them A little chance...at least Take the world to a better place Given them all just a little hope Just think what a legacy You now...will leave We seem destined to live in fear And some that would say Armageddon is near But where there's a life while there's hope That man won't self destruct Why can't we treat our fellow men With more respect and a shake of their hands But anger and loathing is rife The death on all sides is becoming a way of life We live in an uncertain world Fear understanding and ignorance is leading to death Only the corpses are left For vultures that prey on their bones But some are just not wanting peace Their whole life is death and misery The only thing that they know Fight fire with fire life is cheap But if they do stop to think That man is teetering right on the brink But do you think that they care They benefit from death and pain and despair
I try to call the Earth's command Desperation in my voice I'm drifting way off course now With very little choice The loneliness is hard to bear I try to calm my fear Just hoping any second now Some contact filters through Desperate calls... Signal back from Satellite As my life flashes right in front of me Try again...must get through Hear me now... For I've very little time Not much time...hear my call Please get through...I am here I'm stranded in space, I'm lost without trace I haven't a chance of getting away Too close to the sun, I surely will burn Like Icarus before me or so legend goes I think of my life, reliving the past There's nothing but wait 'til my time comes I've had a good life, I'd do it again Maybe I'll come back some time, my friends For I have lived my life to the full I have no regrets But I wish I could talk to my family To tell them one last goodbye The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier If I could survive to live one more time I wouldn't be changing a thing at all Done more in my life than some do in ten I'd go back and do it all over again For I have lived my life to the full I have no regrets But I wish I could talk to my family And tell them that one last goodbye The final frontier [x4] [Guitar solo] There isn't much time, must say my last rites Nobody is here to read them to me Must say my goodbyes, if only a line A message to tell them in case they might find For I have lived my life to the full I have no regrets But I wish I could talk to my family To tell them that one last goodbye The final frontier, the final frontier [x2]

Sitting waiting in the falling rain Getting ready to begin again Wounded lying, crying, bodies moving, dying All around there is the smell of death and fire Here the planes are coming Hear the soldiers running Killing on a scale to comprehend Why are we here In this place...here to kill Please God forgive us for What we have done I always thought I was doing right As of now I'm not feeling so sure I'm at a place where I give no grace I'm a soldier of war I sit waiting for my darkest hour to come I cannot think about the things that I have done It shouldn't take a fool to see that I believe Accept the consequence, repent for what I've done You tell me what is certain but I'll tell you what is true You tell me what is honesty, when all around is death and cruelty The making of a man is fire, not giving into our desires Within the truth it lies within the only thing Mother of Mercy Angel of death desire Mother of mercy Taking my last breath of fire Mother of mercy Angel of pain Mother of mercy Taking my last breath Some say you are a lost cause, some say you're a saint Just being here's an act of suffering and restraint Walk down the long dark road to ruin and panic not I'll die a lonely death of That I'm certain of Rivers flow with blood there's nowhere left to hide It's hard to comprehend there's anyone left alive Sick of all the killing and the reek of death Will god tell me what religion is to man I don't hold with bad religion understand what's underneath it Now I come to think of it, I just don't hold at all you know it You say you are a holy man, but what is it you do From where I stand is nothing but a hollow man I see Mother of Mercy Angel of death desire Mother of mercy Taking my last breath of fire Mother of mercy Angel of pain Mother of mercy Taking my last breath Mother of Mercy Angel of death desire Mother of mercy Taking my last breath of fire Mother of mercy Angel of pain Mother of mercy Drawing my last breath I'm just a lonely soldier fighting in a bloody hopeless war Don't know what I'm fighting, who it is, or what I'm fighting for Thought it was for money, make my fortune, now I'm not so sure Seem to just have lost my way
When I stand before you shining in the early morning sun When I feel the engines roar and I think of what we've done Oh the bittersweet reflection as we kiss the earth goodbye As the waves and echoes of the towns become the ghosts of time Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes No creed and no religion just a hundred winged souls We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth A thousand leagues away, our land of birth To Albion's land Coming home when I see the runway lights In the misty dawn the night is fading fast Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay Curving on the edge of daylight til it slips into the void Waited in the long night, dreaming til the sun is born again Stretched the fingers of my hand, covered countries with my span Just a lonely satellite, speck of dust and cosmic sand Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes Through the dark Atlantic; over mounting stormy waves We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth A thousand leagues away, our land of birth To Albion's land Coming home when I see the runway lights In the misty dawn the night is fading fast Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay To Albion's land Coming home when I see the runway lights In the misty dawn the night is fading fast Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay Coming home, far away when I see the runway lights In the misty dawn the night is fading fast Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay
Stranger than the comet as it streaks across the sky Stranger than the truth I know before my open eyes I have dealt in mysteries and trickery, of light to entertain Looked into the abyss, called it by its name I have plundered time itself, put the world inside it And the mysteries, day and night, divide it A plague of wonders, on your knees beside me Know the secrets, you shall not deride us My dreams of empire for my frozen queen Will come to pass Know me, the Magus I am Dr. Dee And this is my house I am the master of the tides I shame the mirror in my sight What random music of the spheres across the years Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Chain of the demons set free Strange alchemy Gather round the aimless and the feckless and the lame Hear the master summon up the spirits by their names I curse you Edward Kelly your betrayal for eternity is damned Know you speak with demons you cannot command Even as I looked into the glass then I was blinded Burning by the Mortlake shore my house my books inside it You have taken up my wife and lain beside her Now the black rain on my house, the timbers burning My dreams of empire for my frozen queen Will come to pass Know me, the Magus I am Dr. Dee And this was my house I was the keeper of the books I had the knowledge of the scrolls But now through ignorance and fear I cast a shadow through the years Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Chain of the demons set free Strange alchemy Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Chain of the demons set free Strange alchemy Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Restore the knowledge memory Strange alchemy
I can hear them floating on the wind Immortal souls their weeping saddens me Mother earth you know your time is near Awaken lust the seed is sown and reaped Through the western isle I hear the dead awaken Rising slowing to the court of Avalon The cauldron of the head of Annwyn laced with envy Dark around its edge with pearl and destiny All my days I've waited for the sign The one that brings me closer to isle of Avalon I can feel the power flowing through my veins My heart is beating louder, close to Avalon I can hear you, can you hear me? I can feel you, can't you feel me? Fertility Mother Goddess Celebration, sow the seeds of the born The fruit of her body laden Through the corn doll You will pray for them all The image of Mother Goddess Lying dormant, in the eyes of the dead The sheaf of the corn is broken End the harvest Throw the dead on the pyre I hear her crying the tears of an angel The voices I hear in my head Blessed the fruits are the corn of the earth Mother earth holy blood of the dead Mother earth I can hear you Sacrifice, now united Rising levels of the tidal lakes protect them Keepers of the goddess in the underworld Holding powers of the mystics, deep inside them nineteen maidens, guardians of the otherworld Mortal conflict born of Celtic legend That apart from seven, non-returned from Avalon Mother earth I can feel you My rebirth now completed Fertility mother goddess Celebration, sow the seeds of the born The fruits of her body laden Through the corn doll You will pray for them all The image of mother goddess Lying dormant, in the eyes of the dead The sheaf of the corn is broken End the harvest, throw the dead on the pyre To have the belief of others Looking for the Isle to show them a sign Fertility of all mothers Stood in silence Waiting now for their turn The gateway to Avalon The island where the souls of the dead are reborn Brought here to die and be transferred into the earth And then for rebirth I hear her crying the tears of an angel The voices I hear in my head Blessed the fruits are the corn of the earth Mother earth holy blood of the dead The water in rivers and rhymes rises quickly Are flowing and flooding the land The sea shall return once again just to hide them Lost souls on the Isle of the dead
Take my eyes the things I've seen in this world coming to an end My reflection fades, I'm weary of these earthly bones and skin You may pass through me and leave no trace, I have no mortal face Solar winds are whispering, you may hear me call We can shed our skins and swim into the darkened void beyond We will dance among the world that orbit stars that aren't our sun All the oxygen that trapped us in a carbon spider's web Solar winds are whispering, you may hear the sirens of the dead Left the elders to their parley meant to satisfy our lust Leaving Damocles still hanging over all their promised trust Walk away from freedoms offered by their jailers in their cage Step into the light startripping over mortals in their rage Starblind - with sun The stars are one We are the light that brings the end of night Starblind - with sun The stars are one We are, with the Goddess of the sun tonight The preacher loses face with Christ Religion's cruel device is gone Empty flesh and hallow bones Make pacts of love but die alone The crucible of pain will forge The blanks of sin, begin again You are free to choose a life to live Or one that's left to lose Virgins in the teeth of God are meat and drink to feed the damned You may pass through me and I will feel the life that you live less Step into my light startripping, we will rage against the night Walk away from comfort offered by your citizens of death Starblind - with sun The stars are one We are the light that brings the end of night Starblind - with sun The stars are one We're one with the goddess of the sun tonight Take my eyes for what I've seen I will give my sight to you You are free to choose whatever Life to live or life to lose Whatever God, you know He knows you, better than you believe In your once and future grave You'll fall endlessly deceived Look into our face reflected in the moon glow in your eyes Remember you can choose to look but not to see and waste your hours You believe you have the time but I tell you your time is short See your past and future all the same and it cannot be bought Starblind - with sun The stars are one We are the light that brings the end of night Starblind - with sun The stars are one We're one with the Goddess of the sun tonight Take my eyes for what I've seen I will give my sight to you You are free to choose whatever Life to live or life to lose Whatever God you know He knows you better than you believe In your once and future grave You'll fall endlessly deceived The preacher loses face with Christ Religion's cruel device is gone Empty flesh and hollow bones Make pacts of love but die alone The crucible of pain will forge The blanks of sin, begin again You are free to choose a life to live Or one that's left to lose
When I stand and look about the port And contemplate my life, Will I ever see my countrymen again? As the captain calls us on the deck I take my things and walk to the harbourside, I glance back one last time Fleeing our nation, Our problems we leave behind Ships by the tenfold Sail out on the tide We are pleased to be out and Embracing the open sea Free from our troubles And more free from thee Inheritors unfulfilled reason Behind us. We flee from what is not what Is will be. We flee the earth and face our Harsh reality. Will death be low mist that Hangs on the sea? We run from the evil tongues, Rash judgements, selfish men Never to be seen on these shores again. As we sail into oceansize And lose sight of all land A face of contentment Around in the air We're off now to seek all our fortunes To the land of our dreams Riding the waves and the storm Is upon us. The winds lash the sails but The ropes keep them tight Off in the distance a dark cloud approaching None could imagine what there was to come No, there's no one going back No, there's not a second chance As we strap onto the side We pray to God that we won't die As we ride the rough seas, As we soak from the ocean waves, I just hope for all our lives And pray that I survive Four ships are lost in the Stormy conditions The spirits of the sunken crews, Their phantoms follow us Spirits, sails, they drive us on Through the all consuming waves Cold mortality, no weapon Against these ever raging seas Four leagues and ten and we Hit storms again We just can't get away from The eye of the storm The birds outsoar the raging storm But we cannot escape it Abandoned earth that we now crave Is many leagues from safe Holding on for our dear lives And we're praying once again rotten luck or just jonahed? The talisman is in my hand Limbs fatigues, trembling with cold Blinded from the sea spray salt Clasping anything we can hold Heaven's rain upon us falls Twenty days without a meal And ten without fresh water still Those that didn't die in storms The scurvy rest did slaughter Westwards the tide westwards we sail on Westwards the tide Sail by the talisman We approach the other side Of the ocean with the tide In our favour just for once Welcome greeting our new land The elation in our hearts The excitement in our veins As we sail towards the coastline Of our golden promised land Weary limbs fatigued away I have no life left in me No more strength and nothing Left to give Must find the will to live Never thought that we could make it Truly sight of shores divine the sickness I am dying from Never wanted it to end this way Westwards the tide Westwards we sail on westwards the tide Sail by the talisman
As he travels on the beast of Burden Moving up along the mountain side As he gazes looking down the valley No regrets but his pride As he journeys across mountain passes And significant sweeps overhand His reflection of the beauty around him Feeling empty inside He is running from his wildest thoughts He is running from his everything He is looking now to find something Hoping he could be saved He's searching for the answer now Is something that he's managed to avoid up 'till now Looking for the conviction that he craves He needs to find the answer sooner or later Pushed himself to the limits He had to strife for all the harder things in life But what the cost to give him now His life and time are the only things that he has Life is is not a rehearsal, only has this the one chance to get it right Living really is only way to know Maybe one day they ll forgive him what he's done with all the pain of lying too early in the grave Destiny, no good to hide away Penance now will be his only way Understand, no good to run away Penance now will be his saving grace Just to make his peace with God All is forgivable but he's left a little late Trying something that he's not Is impossible to change such a lot He's taken someone s life away There s not a day that goes by he regrets what he's done He should have found another way From the good book says an eye for an eye In reflecting on decisions that were made On the judgements that will haunt him till his grave No-one has the right to take another life But in his mind he had no choice so be it Destiny, no good to hide away Penance now will be his only way Understand, no good to run away Penance now will be his saving grace Destiny, no good to hide away Hear us now, we ll be his only way understand , no good to run away Hear us now, we ll be his saving grace Far, far away The man who would be king Far, far away The man who would be king
Have you heard what they said on the news today? Have you heard what is coming to us all? That the world as we know it will be coming to an end Have you heard, have you heard? He sees them in the distance where the darkened clouds roll He could feel tension in the atmosphere He would look in the mirror, see an old man now Does it matter they survive somehow? They said there's nothing can be done about the situation They said there's nothing you can do at all To sit and wait around for something to occur Did you know, did you know? As he stares across the garden looking at the meadows And wonders if they'll ever grow again The desperation of the situation getting graver Getting ready when the wild wind blows Have you seen what they said on the news today? Have you heard what they said about us all? Do you know what is happening to just every one of us Have you heard, have you heard? There will be a catastrophe the like we've never seen There will be something that will light the sky That the world as we know it, it will never be the same Did you know, did you know? He carries everything into the shelter not a fuss Getting ready when the moment comes He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two Good to have because you never know They tell us nothing that we don't already know about They tell us nothing that is real at all They only fill us with the stuff that they want Did you know, did you know? He's nearly finished with the preparations for the day He's getting tired that'll do for now They are preparing for the very worst to come to them Getting ready when the wild wind blows He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling down upside down He sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her face, saying grace Remember times they had, they flash right through his mind left behind Of a lifetime spent together long ago will be gone They've been preparing for some weeks now For when the crucial moment comes To take their refuge in the shelter Let them prepare for what will come They make a tea and sit there waiting They're in the shelter feeling snug Not long to wait for absolution Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait Can't believe all the lying, All the screams are denying That the moments of truth have begun Can't you see it on the TV? Don't believe them in the least bit Now the days of our ending have begun Say a prayer when it's all over Survivors unite all as one Got to try and help each other Got the will to overcome I can't believe all the lying, All the screens are denying That the moments of truth have begun Can't you see it on the TV? Don't believe them in the least bit Now the days of our ending have begun When they found them, had their arms wrapped around each other Their tins of poison laying near by their clothes The day they both mistook an earthquake for the fallout, Just another when the wild wind blows...
